Salma Paralluelo scored late in extra time Friday to give Spain a 2-1 victory and a place in the Women's World Cup semifinals for the first time.
Salma Paralluelo of Spain celebrates after scoring her team's second goal during the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Quarter Final match between Spain and Netherlands at Wellington Regional Stadium on August 11, 2023 in WellinThe FIFA Women’s World Cup only happens once every four years, and whether you’re a soccer devotee or someone who just tunes in when the Cup comes around, you won’t want to miss the action. Never fear: We’ve got you covered.
It’s the quarterfinals, so every match from here on out is going to be a good one. But these two teams, which are both strong overall, come into this match with very different hot streams in play. Meanwhile, the Oranje are also no slouches in this department, with 11 goals in the tourney thus far, a number which places them third behind Japan and Spain. But when it comes to goals conceded, the Dutch are perched right on top. Technically, the single goal they’ve allowed ties the Netherlands with eight other teams for first, but of those eight, only three others are still alive.
