Spain vs Sweden LIVE: Women’s World Cup latest score and updates

45+1 mins: The whistle goes to bring an entertaining first half to a close. There’s been no goals yet but these sides are evenly matched and this World Cup semi-final could go either way.

There’s been a couple of opportunities at either end with the best one falling to Fridolina Rolfo at the end of the first half. It’s all still to play for at Eden Park.

42 mins: Save! Sweden create the best chance of the after Spain lose possession deep in their own half. Nathalie Bjorn intercepts a pass and lifts a cross over to the back post.

Fridolina Rolfo shifts her feet and hits a volley towards the nearest post but Cata Coll drops to her right and palms the ball wide of the goal!

Big save from the Spaniard!

39 mins: Chance! Spain move the ball quickly into the midfield and send it up to Aitana Bonmati on the edge of the box. She spins towards goal, takes the ball to the right and lets fly but pings her effort just wide of the far post.

A decent shot but Bonmati doesn’t trouble the goalkeeper.

36 mins: There’s no way through for Spain from this set piece either as Sweden get everyone back to defend the goal. The ball drops to Redondo over by the back post but she’s shrugged off it by Rolfo who belts the ball long.

33 mins: Filippa Angedal is shoved in the back and goes to ground. She thinks it is a foul and tries to grab the ball for a quick reset but the referee hasn’t blown the whistle. Instead, beacuase she handled the ball, Angedal gives away a free kick of her own.

Spain curl the ball into the box and recover it for the second phase following Sweden’s clearance. The next cross is whipped in from the right and heads out for a corner.

Sweden chip the ball down the right wing and send Johanna Rytting Kaneryd racing against Olga Carmona. Carmona gets to the ball first despite being slightly slower and she knocks it into the path of Laia Codina.

Spain take three passes to get the ball out from their own box and they’re away on the counter-attack.

27 mins: Jonna Andersson comes to the rescue for Sweden after Mariona Caldentey flicks the ball into the box. The Swedish defender sees Alba Redondo arriving off her shoulder and ease ahead of the forward to nod the ball away.

Jennifer Hermoso can’t control a header of her own and Sweden scoop the ball away.

24 mins: Olga Carmona, having come close with a shot from range earlier, decides to have another go when she gets the ball in space on the inside left. She drills one with her left foot but leans back at the wrong time and skews the ball high and wide.

That wasn’t the best effort we’ve seen in this tournament.

Spain come forward this time with Aitana Bonmati bringing the ball inside from the right and sitting Elin Rubensson on the floor. She lifts a curling pass into the box hoping to pick out Jennifer Hermoso.

The ball just drops over the top of the forward’s head though and Zecira Musovic does well to smother the loose ball.

18 mins: Fridolina Rolfo goes on an enterprising run after winning the ball back high up the pitch. She eventually gets crowded out on the edge of the box but Sweden come away with the ball.

It’s played back to Amanda Illestedt who looks to float a pass over to the right wing. She overhits it though and sends the ball out of play.
