Paradise is just one match away after Spain shattered all the bad omens at Eden Park this Tuesday, earning the right to crown the team's crest with a star.

For the first time in history, the National Team defeated Sweden, and they did it at the crucial moment – the World Cup semifinals.

All of this happened in a fiercely contested match, where Jorge Vilda initially chose to bring Olga Carmona and Alexia Putellas back into the starting eleven, compared to the team that had overcome the Netherlands in the quarter finals just three days earlier.

With the Nordic team lying low, Spain initially dominated ball possession but struggled to create opportunities on both ends.

Alba Redondo from Olga Carmona's cross and Jenni Hermoso from Aitana Bonmatí's pass attempted for Spain, while the Nordic side came closest to scoring just before halftime, with a Rolfö header that was brilliantly denied by the colossal Cata Coll.

After halftime, Peter Gerhadsson's team enjoyed their best moments, persisting with their wing attacks and utilizing the strength of their attackers.

The changes made by coach Jorge Vilda shifted the tide of the game and were crucial in Spain's victory.

The National Team endured suffering, but then Jorge Vilda changed the game's dynamics, bringing in Salma Paralluelo to play up front and revolutionize the fate of the match.

The outcome was unforgettable: with less than ten minutes to go, the Aragonese player unleashed a deadly right-footed shot of necessity that left Musovic helpless.

The Scandinavians then threw everything into the attack and found success two minutes before the end, with yet another cross landing softly at Blomqvist's feet, who didn't miss the chance.

Australia or England will be Spain's opponent this Sunday in the World Cup grand final.

However, the last and definitive twist came in the form of a rehearsed play. A corner kick where Tere Abelleira selflessly set the stage for Olga Carmona, whose strike kissed the crossbar just before finding the net, igniting the madness in the packed New Zealand stadium.

A final score of 2-1, with Australia or England on the horizon for the ultimate showdown on Sunday in Sydney. A path with a star waiting at the finish line.
