Spain reached their third consecutive European championship final, beating an insolent Portugal 4-2 on penalties after their Euro 2012 semifinal ended goalless after extra time. Cesc Fabregas scored the charming penalty to send Spain through after Portugal's Bruno Alves hit the crossbar.
Sunday's final will be against Germany or Italy. Spain began their second title defence with a cagey 1-1 draw against Italy before crushing Ireland 4-0 and surviving a couple of scares to overcome Croatia 1-0.Two goals from Xabi Alonso brought a 2-0 victory over France in the quarterfinal. Portugal started their battle with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Germany in Group B, but tattered through as runners-up, thanks to equally closely fought victories over Denmark, 3-2, and the Netherlands 2-1.
