England will play Spain in the final. Olga Carmona struck an 89th-minute winner as her team dramatically beat Sweden 2-1 to reach the Women’s World Cup final for the first time.
It has not been a perfect campaign for Spain – having lost against Japan to finish second in their group.
But La Roja have been on fire since then, putting Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden to the sword to make the final.
Aitana Bonmatí, Jennifer Hermoso and Alba Redondo have all hit three goals for Jorge Vilda’s side, which is ranked six in the world by Fifa.
Their most influential player is considered to be Alexia Putellas, who is also their record holder for their number of caps.
