– For a rescue of Van Domselaar, said TV 2’s expert Yaw Amankwah. By then the Netherlands’ last chance had stopped her tenth ball of the night and France’s stars couldn’t seem to figure her out. – This is the biggest breakthrough in EC history by the young goalkeeper, said Amankwah. – Those are rare numbers, TV 2’s Endre Olav Osnes concluded about the Netherlands goalkeeper’s number of saves, and was supported by the statistics service Opta.

The teams had to go into extra time, and it was only when VAR found out that Dominique Janssen had fouled Kadidiatou Diani in his own penalty area, that the Dutch goalkeeper eventually had to retrieve a ball out of goal. VAR PENALTY: It took a penalty to outwit Daphne van Domselaar. Ève Périsset’s penalty was also the only one of the EC semi-final, and it will be France who will face Germany next Wednesday. Then there is a ticket to the final in the pot. Rescue on the line Reigning European champions the Netherlands had star forward Vivianne Miedema back in the eleven, but it was still France who took command from the start. The Netherlands stayed low, lost the duels in midfield, and the aforementioned Miedema was minimally involved. ALMOST: Delphine Cascarino hits the post.

The Lyon player got a star hit after half-time in the first half, but Netherlands goalkeeper van Domselaar was helped by the root of the post. Barely ten minutes later, France came even closer. Melvine Malard was able to finish from close range, but Stefanie van der Gragt, who was praised for her maneuver the previous game, made a masterful save on the line. Incredibly, it was 0-0 at the break. CHANCES: France pressed before the break. Visible frustration The French star gallery continued to run over the Netherlands after the change of sides, but despite a double-digit number of finishes, the reigning champions always found a way to stop Corinne Diacre’s women. Missed chances, missed balls and waste eventually led to visible frustration, which the Netherlands took advantage of. They were able to move higher up the pitch, but were unable to get to the big opportunities. – I don’t understand why this change in form comes to France. They have exploded out of the starting blocks, but then it stops, commented TV 2’s Solveig Gulbrandsen. CHANCE: Grace Geyoro tries in the final minutes. Photo: Jon Super / AP Grace Geyoro had a great chance to decide in Blue’s favor just before full time, but the header went wide for the goal. Wendie Renard’s header in extra time was stopped by an exceptional van Domselaar, which therefore caused the match to go to extra time, and TV 2’s experts to bring out the big words.
