With nine minutes to go until the end of extra time in Spain’s quarter-final against the Netherlands, Salma Paralluelo collected a through ball in the Dutch half, bamboozled the defenders with a step-over and unleashed a left-footed thunderbolt that clanged off the post into the net, sending her team into their first-ever Women’s World Cup semi-final.
The 19-year-old Barcelona winger came off the bench in the 71st minute as coach Jorge Vilda looked to use her pace and ability to cut through the flanks as the match edged towards full time.
