Sarina Wiegman's side will confront Sweden or Belgium in the keep going four on Tuesday.
Britain were given a lift pre-coordinate with the arrival of Wiegman to the touchline after she tried negative for Covid before in the day.
The Lionesses had all that their own specific manner in the gathering stage as they pillaged 14 objectives without answer against Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.
Notwithstanding, in spite of their own battles to arrive at the knockout stages, Spain were a major move forward in class.
La Roja had been pre-competition top picks before wounds to ruling Ballon d'Or victor Alexia Putellas and all-time top goalscorer Jennifer Hermoso shook their arrangement.

Mary Earps then needed to make a splendid save to keep a cross from the energetic Del Castillo drifting into the furthest corner to twofold Spain's lead.
Wiegman didn't sit around idly in going to her seat with White, Fran Kirby and the competition's top goalscorer Beth Mead shockingly forfeited for the presentation of Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Toone.
Those changes had the ideal impact to keep England's expectations of a first significant competition win in quite a while's down alive.
Lauren Hemp's cross was going somewhere around Russo for her Manchester United colleague Toone to fire in from short proximity.
Unexpectedly the energy totally swung in support of England and six minutes into extra-time they drove.
Stanway drove forward before the Bayern Munich-bound midfielder crushed the ball past Sandra Panos from fresh.
Aitana Bonmati came nearest to an answer when she terminated wide right off the bat in the second time of additional time.
