Xabi Alonso scored two goals in his 100th international appearance Saturday, leading Spain to a 2-0 win over France and a spot in the European Championship semi-finals, reports The Associated Press.

Alonso first scored with a header in the 19th minute and then converted a penalty in injury time.

The win was Spain's first over France in a competition in seven attempts.

Spain will next face Portugal on Wednesday in Donetsk in the semi-finals as it bids to win a third straight major title.
