UEFA issued an official Player of the Match award after every game in both legs of the UEFA Women's Nations League semi-finals.
The UEFA Technical Observer Group at each fixture decided who deserved to be named Player of the Match.
Semi-final second legs, 28 October
Sweden 0-1 Spain - Alexia Putellas
"She may not have delivered a dazzling performance over the full 90 minutes this evening, but she converted Clàudia Pina's brilliant assist with an unstoppable shot under the crossbar to secure the 1-0 victory. With a total of three goals in the two matches against Sweden, Alexia Putellas once again underlined her instinct for being in the right place at the right time, as well as her technical skills, including her presence in the penalty area."
UEFA Technical Observer Group
France 2-2 Germany – Sakina Karchaoui
"She was enormously influential in France's attack, showing intelligence, technique and creativity."

Semi-final first legs, 24 October
Germany 1-0 France – Klara Bühl
"Always looked to be involved in the build-up and worked hard to get on the ball. She never gives up and constantly attempts to create goalscoring chances for herself and her team-mates. Her goal was well taken – after a long ball from Sjoeke Nüsken, she bypassed the French defence on the edge of the box and hit a fantastic strike to give Germany the lead."
UEFA Technical Observer Group
Spain 4-0 Sweden – Clàudia Pina
"Collectively, it was a focused team performance from Spain, but Pina impressed with her two fantastic goals. She immediately found her rhythm after coming on and had a major impact on Spain's performance with her runs and finishing in the attacking third. She also showed her goal threat from a variety of positions."
