First Half Highlights
ZURICH (Reuters) -Spain's Aitana Bonmati struck a superb extra-time winner to fire her side to a 1-0 victory over Germany on Wednesday and send them through to the Women's European Championship final for the first time, where they will face reigning champions England.
Second Half Chances
Spain captain Irene Paredes struck the foot of a post with a first-half header as her side dominated possession, with the Germans building a solid block and inviting the Spaniards to attack while they attempted to strike on the counter.
Extra Time Breakthrough
Klara Buehl had a number of decent chances in the second half, including a deflected stoppage-time effort that Spain keeper Cata Coll had to claw away, but the game ended scoreless, forcing extra time.
Bonmati finally broke the deadlock in the 113th minute, picking up a ball in the left channel and spotting a gap at Ann-Katrin Berger's near post before whipping a shot from a tight angle into the net to send her side through to Sunday's final in Basel.
