FIFA Women's World Cup: In a moment that will be etched in the history of the Spanish women's football team, Olga Carmona produced a moment of brilliance as her late strike helped her nation secure a berth in the FIFA Women's World Cup final for the first time ever. Spain's victory at the Eden Park implies that they would either meet Australia or England in the summit clash, the two teams who will lock horns in the second semifinal of the tournament on Wednesday (August 16).



While the match seemed to be headed towards extra-time with the match poised at the 0-0 mark, Spain ensured that they take the lead nine minutes to go before the full-time whistle. Salma Paralluelo's goal though was equalised by Sweden in the 88th minute when Rebecka Blomqvist found the back of the net. However, it was then that Spain captain Carmona scored a superb shot in the dying minutes of the match to make sure that Spain emerge victorious.

Spain's victory marks a special achievement for the country who had in the past never managed to go past the final 16 round at a Women's World Cup fixture. Moreover, it is also a special achievement since the team looked in all sorts of mess in the months preceding the competition.

The final of the competition will be played at Stadium Australia on Sunday (August 20) with the contest scheduled to kick off at 03:30 pm (IST).
