Sweden defeated Japan 2-1 at Eden Park on Friday to reach the semi-finals of the ongoing FIFA Women's World Cup.
Sweden, who had also knocked out four-time champions the United States in the last 16, will face Spain in the last four clash at the same stadium on Tuesday.
Sweden took the lead after defender Amanda Ilestedt scored her fourth goal of the tournament in the 32nd minute with Filippa Angeldal adding the second from the penalty spot just after half-time.
Japan had a chance to make a comeback in the match but Riko Ueki missed a 76th-minute penalty while fellow substitute Honoka Hayashi's goal 11 minutes later proved too late.
"It's wonderful, obviously," Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson told Swedish radio.
"The game had everything. In terms of performance, we had our best of the tournament. It got very exciting, Japan are one of the best teams in the tournament ..."
Earlier, teenager Salma Paralluelo scored the winner off the bench as the La Roja made their way into the semi-finals for the first time in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The 19-year-old Barcelona winger scored in extra-time in Wellington on Friday as Spain registered a 2-1 win over 2019 runners-up the Netherlands.
The former sprinter used her speed and smashed a left-footed shot that ricocheted off the post and went in.
"(Coach Jorge Vilda) told me to be sure that I was open for the passes, that I could be in the right spaces and to compete, compete as much as I could," said Paralluelo.
"I had that opportunity and I was lucky to score so I'm very happy."
Paralluelo, who was born in Zaragoza to a Spanish father and Equatorial Guinean mother, also notched up a hat-trick, in a 7-0 win over Argentina in a friendly, on her debut in November.
She had been one of Spain's best sprinters, taking part in the European indoor championships in the 400 metres in 2019, before giving up athletics to focus solely on football.
"The goal from Salma, it was sheer joy," said coach Jorge Vilda. "Salma is a player with enormous potential and she's not reached her best yet.
"She's a very young player who has been training one year in football specifically, and the best of Salma we'll see it in the future. Now she's excellent, but in the future it's going to be much, much more."
