    Stephen: I think Asllani will be the circuit breaker in this game

    Jonatan: Both teams are pressing high and chasing every ball. It can’t be sustainable for 90 min. Which team will drop off first?

    Aitana Bonmati does well to get herself in a good position on the right of the penalty area but super defensive work from Elin Rubensson ensures that attack amounts to nothing.

    Jenni Hermoso has gone into the 10 position and Salma Paralluelo is up top which is a different outlet.

    Paralluelo is an out and out runner, she will run into the channels and make the defenders turn.

    That's something different for the two Swedish centre-backs, Magdalena Eriksson and Amanda Ilestedt to adjust to.

    Thirty-two touches, 21 passes and one lovely nutmeg for Alexia Putellas. Will we see the midfielder and her team-mates in the final?

    Almost the perfect impact from Salma Paralluelo. She latches onto a long ball down the left-hand side and patiently waits for the arrival of a couple of team-mates.

    Alba Rodondo is there but the attack is shut down by two Sweden defenders.

    Salma Paralluelo is very good, an exciting young player.

    She scored the winner against the Netherlands, she's got pace.

    Now then, Spain are going to make a change and it's Alexia Putellas who makes way for 19-year-old Salma Paralluelo.

    She was the difference maker in Spain's quarter-final win over the Netherlands, scoring in the 110th minute. Can she have the same impact here?

    Stina Blackstenius was never convincing from that angle to put the ball in the back of the net but she still made the keeper Cata Coll make a save.

    Stina Blackstenius does busts a gut to reach the ball and stretches to get the shot away off balance but it's an easy save for Cata Coll.

    I think it's a bit early to throw out the P word but it doesn't really feel like either side is going to score any time soon.

  10. 'Sweden really trying to get in behind Spain'published at 10:11 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    Sue Smith
    Former England international on BBC One

    Sweden are really trying to turn Spain around, getting them running back towards their own goal.

    Asllani in particular has been making some good runs in the channel and getting good balls into the box.

    Sweden just need mroe numbers in there.

    Untidy from Teresa Abelleira, giving the ball away in her own half.

    Spain do well to win it back but Abelleira's through ball to Mariona Caldentey just not good enough and it goes out of play.

    Story of the match, so far, to be honest.

    Spain aren't going to change how they play, even when they get pressed high they're still going to want to play out the back.

    If Sweden time it right, they've got potential to win the ball really high up.

    Sweden have failed to score a first-half goal in four of their six games while Spain have not scored a first-half goal in three of their six games.

    And yet, here they both are in the semi-final.

    Fridolina Rolfo is holding her face, looks like she's just taken a bit of an elbow to the face as she went up for a header.

    This second half has started much the same as the first. Bit slow, bit cagey.

    Here was that big chance for Sweden earlier. They'll be hoping to create a few more of these opportunities this half.

    Sweden showed a great last 10 minutes at the end of the first half.

    The Swedish players are now giving it back to Spain.

    They will need to have that physical side to them as well.

    England manager Sarina Wiegman has just been chatting on BBC One about that England semi-final tomorrow against Australia and said she doesn't feel the rivalry between her side and the Matildas.

    We have seen that rivalry rear its head this summer with the men's and women's Ashes unable to be separated. Then, England were well beaten in the Netball World Cup final just a couple of weeks ago.

    Who will come out on top tomorrow?

    Don't forget you can watch that one on BBC One from 10:00 BST tomorrow.

  19. 'Sweden restricting Spain'published at 10:00 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    HT: Spain 0-0 Sweden

    Jonas Eidevall
    Arsenal manager on BBC One

    Sweden are very comfortable giving possession away as tat limits Spain's threat to crosses, for which they aren't getting enough players in the box, and long shots.

    I actually think that Sweden has intercepted the ball a few times, and been very close to creating something on the counter.

    They are just missing that bit of quality.

  20. 'Spain need to be more clinical'published at 09:59 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    HT: Spain 0-0 Sweden

    Gilly Flaherty
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I'll be interested to see if Sweden change anything for the second half. Whether Peter Gerhardsson keeps it the same in regards to tactics, are they going to high press Spain more or still sit in a block?

    Sweden were rattled by how defensively good Spain were on the turnover too so Spain will want to go up a level again when they come out. They will want to create more chances and they know when they do they have to be more clinical.
