England moved on to their first Women's World Cup final with a 3-1 victory on Wednesday over co-hosts Australia, ending the Matildas captivating run through the tournament.
Australia superstar Sam Kerr started her first match of the tournament and scored for the Matildas but it wasn't enough to hold off European champion England.
Ella Toone scored in the 36th minute to put England up 1-0 and the Lionesses dominated possession in the first half.
Kerr's equaliser in the 63rd gave the 75,000-plus crowd some hope, but England sealed it on goals from Lauren Hemp in the 71st and Alessia Russo four minutes from the end of regulation time.
England and Spain will be playing in the Women's World Cup final for the first time when they meet at Stadium Australia on Sunday.
Australia will play Sweden for third place on Saturday in Brisbane.
