ZURICH (Reuters) -Spain's Aitana Bonmati appeared to be lining up a cross when she unleashed a shot from a seemingly impossible angle that squeezed between the post and Germany keeper Ann-Katrin Berger -- it was exactly how the twice-reigning Ballon d'Or winner pictured it.

Bonmati showed her class with a brilliant strike in the 113th minute to earn a 1-0 extra-time semi-final win on Wednesday that sent Spain into their first European Championship final and ended their winless run against the Germans.
