Spain through to third final (in a row)!


Cesc Fabregas sent his Spainish side through to the final after a penalty shoot-out victory over rivals Portugal.

Ronaldo and co. frustrated the Spanish whilst playing some enviable football and looked capable of beating the reigning champions with a brilliant first half display, the two sides were evenly matched in the second half and Spain went on to call the shots in extra-time but they were unable to find away past Rui Patricio.

The game went to a shoot-out and first two penalties were saved, another miss from Portugal meant that Cristiano Ronaldo did not even get to take a spot-kick. Fabregas scored Spain's fifth and deciding penalty for a 4-2 shoot-out triumph.

Spain will play Italy in the final on Sunday.
