Spain are through to the final of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

This follows the conclusion of Tuesday’s semi-final fixture between Spain and Sweden.

Spain had defeated Sweden 2-1 in the semi-final encounter today to book a place in the Women’s World Cup final.

Salma Celeste Paralluelo Ayingono and Olga Carmona scored second-half late goals to ensure Spain defeated Sweden.

Rebecka Blomqvist did score a goal for Sweden against Spain at Eden Park.

The result means Spain will now take on the winner between Australia and England in the Women’s World Cup final this weekend.
