DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Cesc Fabregas scored the deciding penalty Wednesday to give Spain a 4-2 shootout win over Portugal and a spot in the European Championship final.

Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos also scored for Spain.

Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas saved Portugal's opening penalty from Joao Moutinho and then Bruno Alves hit the crossbar, setting up Fabregas to score the decider.

Spain will face either Germany or Italy in the final on Sunday in Kiev.
