Spain advances to Women's Basketball World Cup semifinals

The Spanish women's national basketball team has advanced to the semifinals of the Women's Basketball World Cup after a decisive 89-66 victory over Australia in Berlin. Led by coach Miguel Méndez, Spain utilized a strong defensive presence and efficient perimeter shooting to control the match, particularly in the first half.

Key performers included Megan Gustafson, who scored 16 points, and 20-year-old Iyana Martín, who contributed 14 points. The victory marks a significant achievement for the squad, which will now face the United States in the semifinals. Australia played without several key players, including Ezi Magbegor and Alanna Smith, which impacted their ability to counter Spain's collective play and interior strength.
