Olga Carmona (No 19) celebrates scoring a 90th-minute winner to earn Spain a 2-1 victory over Sweden in Tuesday's FIFA Women's World Cup semifinal in Auckland, New Zealand. Carmona's stunning long-range strike pinged off the crossbar to earn the Spanish a spot in the final for the first time. Rebecka Blomqvist had equalized for Sweden two minutes earlier in front of a crowd of 43,217 at Eden Park. Salma Paralluelo, the quarterfinal hero against the Netherlands, broke the deadlock in the 81st minute, breathing life into what had been a slow-burning, cagey affair. Less than a year after a player revolt tore the Spanish squad apart, La Roja will have the chance to lift the trophy when they face either co-host Australia or England in Sunday's final in Sydney.
