She did it in the quarterfinals, and she has done it again in the semifinals. Salma Paralluelo has been named the MVP of the match against Sweden after scoring the 1-0 goal, which in the 80th minute seemed like it could be the deciding factor. There was some suffering afterward, but that goal paved the way for a historic victory, putting Spain in the final of the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The forward entered the game in the 57th minute, replacing Alexia, and surprisingly took on the role of the forward. Jorge Vilda's gamble worked perfectly, both in pressuring the Swedish defense and in creating opportunities and vertical play. A gamble that was ultimately realized in that goal which broke through the Nordic defense.

Salma achieves her second MVP of this World Cup; a great success for a player who already knows what it's like to be a world champion, in this case with the U-20 team. Now, the antipodes are witnessing her dedication.SALMA'S BEGINNINGS (RFAF website)
