Final stretch of the match... Or of the regulation time. The 0-0 scoreline is not broken and it already smells like overtime.

Double change in Sweden. Rebecka Blomqvist and Olivia Schough replace Stina Blackstenius and Johanna Kaneryd.

Change in Spain. Eva Navarro replaces Alba Redondo.

Spain tries! Alba Redondo shot at goal, but the ball went inches wide.

Spain came close. Salma Paralluelo's header after a cross from Alba Redondo, but the ball went over the goal.

First quarter of an hour into the match, the rain appeared! A nice factor to encourage the teams to shoot more.

Change in Spain. Salma Paralluelo replaces Alexia Putellas.

Sweden came close. Stina Blackstenius arrived in the box after a pass looking for a hole in the Spanish defense, but she was left without an angle and ended up with a very soft shot. Cata Coll controlled with ease.

First minutes of the second half. So far there is no dominator in the resumption of the match.

The match restarts at Eden Park. There were no changes in the teams.

End of the first half! Goalless draw between Spain and Sweden.

Only one minute will be played in this first half.

SWEDEN HAD A CHANCE! Nathalie Björn's cross was flicked on by Fridolina Rolfö, but Cata Coll reacted well to save and send the ball into the far corner, preventing the opening goal.

Spain came close. Aitana Bonmatí's shot went wide left.

Final stretch of the first half. The score remains 0-0 and the match is still close, despite the feeling of dominance that the Spanish team has had in its favor.

Half an hour into the match. We still don't have a clear scoring chance.

Spain continues to attack. The Iberian team tries to do damage on the flanks but fails to penetrate the opponent's defense in the area. Sweden has not come close to the Spanish goal again.

The score continues to be tied. Spain has had control of the ball in recent minutes and is patiently looking for a hole in the opponent's defense.

Spain had a chance! Olga's shot ended up grazing the leg of a rival player and the ball went very close to the left post.

It was expected to be an even match and so it has been at the beginning of the game. Spain tries to take the ball to advance more in the face of the dominance that the Swedish team is trying to exert.

First minutes of the match. The Spanish team wanted to start by playing in the opponent's half, but the Swedes quickly began to control the ball.

The game between Spain and Sweden is underway and we are looking for the first finalist of the World Cup!

In Sweden, the presence of Amanda Ilestedt stands out. The 25-year-old player, who plays as a defender for Arsenal, is the team's top scorer in the current edition of the Women's World Cup with four goals. She also stands out for being the longest distance runner in the team so far in the tournament with 50.83 kilometers.

In Spain, the presence of Bonmatí Conca stands out. The 25-year-old, who plays as a forward for FC Barcelona, is the team's top scorer in the current edition of the Women's World Cup with three goals. She is also the team's top assist provider with two.

These two teams have met 10 times. The statistics are in favor of Sweden, which has emerged victorious on seven occasions, while the remaining three matches ended in a draw.

This will be the first time they meet in the World Cup.

Sweden continues to fulfill the predictions in this women's World Cup. The team coached by Peter Gerhardsson defeated Japan 2-1 in the quarterfinals thanks to Amanda Ilestedt and Filippa Angeldal. Now, they are just one game away from reaching the title match, where they would achieve at least the same as they did in 2003 when they were runners-up, but now, they are firmly convinced that they have the necessary tools to win the coveted title and they will have to prove it against one of the favorite rivals in the tournament.

Spain has made history. The team coached by Jorge Vilda comes from defeating the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarterfinals, where Mariona and Salma Paralluelo became the sporting heroines with two celebrations that made their fans celebrate their arrival for the first time in the semifinals of this competition, where they will be ready to leave absolutely everything to reach the final.

The Spain vs Sweden match will be played at Eden Park, located in the city of Auckland, New Zealand. This venue, inaugurated in 1900, has a capacity for 50,000 spectators.

My name is Jhonatan Martinez and I will be your host for this match. We will bring you pre-match analysis on VAVEL.
