Quarter-Finals: Spain 2 Netherlands 1 / Sweden 2 Japan 1

Spain Through to Semis After Beating Netherlands

Sweden Beat Japan to Progress to World Cup Semis

BBC 11 AUG 2023

Spain 2 Netherlands 1

Teenage winger Salma Paralluelo came off the bench to score a 111th-minute winner as Spain beat the Netherlands to reach the Women's World Cup semi-finals for the first time.

Mariona Caldentey had appeared to give Spain the win in normal time when she slammed home an 80th-minute penalty via the post after Stefanie van der Gragt handled in the box.

Van der Gragt went from villain to hero by smashing home a stoppage-time equaliser - but Paralluelo found space in the area in extra time to put Spain's women into their first major semi-final for 26 years.

The Netherlands, runners-up in 2019 where they were beaten by the USA in the final, were outplayed for long periods although they should have taken the lead seconds before the winner, when Lineth Beerensteyn fired over from yards out.

Sweden 2 Japan 1

Sweden produced a magnificent performance to book a semi-final date with Spain and leave Japan's Women's World Cup dreams in tatters.

Japan were seen as title contenders after gliding through the group stage and defeating Norway in the last 16.

Here, they fell behind to Amanda Ilestedt's goal before Manchester City midfielder Filippa Angeldahl doubled Sweden's lead from the penalty spot.

Japan were then awarded a controversial spot-kick, but Riko Ueki's 76th-minute attempt hit the bar, before West Ham's Honoka Hayashi pulled a goal back in the 87th minute.

That lifeline came moments after Aoba Fujino hit the woodwork from a free-kick, but Sweden saw the game out to make it into the last four.

New Arsenal defender Ilestedt has emerged as one of the players of the tournament, and she now has four goals.

This time she struck from the edge of the six-yard box in the 32nd minute after Japan failed to clear.

Goalkeeper Ayaka Yama****a kept Japan in the contest when she tipped an attempt by Sweden captain Kosovare Asllani onto the post, while Stina Blackstenius had earlier missed a glorious chance when the game was goalless.

There looked to be no coming back for Japan when Angeldahl doubled the lead after the video assistant referee (VAR) spotted a handball by Japan's Liverpool midfielder Fuka Nagano.

Japan had shone at this World Cup, scoring 14 times in their previous four matches.

But they struggled to test goalkeeper Zecira Musovic often enough at Eden Park as Sweden moved to within one win of a first World Cup final since 2003, when they lost to Germany in the final
