"We had a strong mentality. We knew it would be a mentally demanding game and we were prepared and we showed it," Spain coach Jorge Vilda told a press conference after the game at Eden Park in Auckland.

"I want to congratulate Sweden and their coach for the team they have built. They are a great team. They have worked hard and are very solid. They are difficult players to beat," he added.

On Sunday, Spain will play the final of the Women's World Cup at the Sydney stadium, where they will face the winning team of the game between England and Australia, which will take place on Wednesday.
