Records fall as La Furia Roja reach third final

Portugal 0-0 Spain - Spain win 4-2 on penalties

They said Portugal just had Ronaldo
But turning up were Nani and Moutinho
Odd choice with the selection of Negredo
Del trying rotation like Joachim Löw

Donetsk saw a classic Iberian brawl
Spain went to slay brave Portugal
Rui Patricio quite simply a stone wall
Time out and spot kicks next for all

Alonso save by the brilliant Patricio
Casillas dealt a blow to Moutinho
Pepe, Pique, centre halves with the flow
Nani, after sending Alves back in tow

Ramos dinked, clinically precise
Alves failed after walking the gangplank twice
Fabregas won it on the roll of the dice
Not a kick for Ron who pay's the price
