The Matildas have learned who they could face in a potential final after three goals in 10 minutes flipped the first semi-final on its head.
Sweden’s brutal defeat, meanwhile, continued a shocking run of near misses in their history at major tournaments.
“It’s disappointing for them, they’ve always been there. To fall short yet again, I feel for them,” Kellond-Knight said on Channel 7.“There’s no words that can really help in this moment, it’s pretty gut-wrenching.” Spain executed their brand of possession-heavy football for long spells and will take some beating in Sunday’s decider.
Sweden didn’t produce a shot until the 42nd minute when Nathalie Bjorn looped a ball to the back post which Fridolina Rolfo volleyed, drawing a smart save from rookie goalkeeper Cata Coll.
