The Netherlands lacked almost an entire central line for injuries and illness before meeting Portugal. It should not seem initial, because before 20 minutes had been played, the Dutch had managed to score two goals – in the match they eventually won 3-2. Damaris Egurrola and Stefanie van der Gragt each scored their own goals, and the Netherlands had a dream start to the match. The latter’s scoring received much praise in retrospect. Van der Gragt got a foot in the head and was left behind after his 2-0 scoring. – Help me for a bang she gets. That bang is dreadful. She is probably stuffy in the nose for the rest of the day, said news expert Aleksander Schau during the break. SACRIFICE: Stefanie van der Gragt won 2-0.

Portugal also conceded two early goals in the opening match against Switzerland. – It is an absolutely horrible defensive game, news expert Ingvild Stensland concluded during the break. But as against Switzerland, Portugal would strike back strongly. A penalty kick by Carole Costa just before the break and a header from Diana Silva a few minutes into the second half, made the teams equally far. – They have returned in two games in a row now. from It is a fairy tale simply, exclaimed news’s commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith. But the adventure was to be short-lived for the Portuguese. Daniëlle van de Donk kept up with a pearl scoring from just over 20 meters after just over an hour played. It should also prove to be the decisive goal.

The Netherlands did not field a top crew before the meeting. The team has struggled a lot with injuries and illness during the championship.

Jackie Groenen has previously tested positive for the coronavirus and was placed in isolation. The Netherlands’ first goalkeeper and national team captain Sari van Veenendaal is already out with an injury.
