(CNN) - The Netherlands will face the United States in the final of the Women's World Cup, following a dramatic late goal against Sweden after extra time in their semifinal match on Wednesday.
Though the Netherlands is the reigning European Champion, the US women's national team may have seen little in this semifinal to concern them ahead of the title decider in the same stadium.
For World Cup pedigree, the finalists are poles apart: three-time winner US is facing a team ranked eighth in the world, which is in its first final and competing in just its second World Cup.
After the final whistle, trumpets were enthusiastically blown and Dutch flags waved as the fans stayed behind to cheer their history-making team.
