Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Forsyth Barr Stadium that hosts another battle between Netherlands and Portugal.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Stefanie van der Gragt, as he is very good at scoring at Forsyth Barr Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 13' Stefanie van der Gragt puts Netherlands on the lead.
- 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
- 23' Portugal is showing some good football. However, Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diana Silva made 6 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 33' Andreia Jacinto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 38' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 43' The travelling Portugal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 48' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Netherlands needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 53' It looks surprising Netherlands does not make any changes. Jessica Silva has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' It’s gonna be a card for Jessica Silva.
- 61' Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ines Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Kika Nazareth. He replaces Dolores Silva on 67 minute.
- 72' Portugal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 72.
- 77' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 78' Netherlands receives a card for a hard tackle on 78.
- 78' Another change for Portugal made on 78 minute. Andreia Norton leaves to be changed by Andreia Jacinto.
- 80' Damaris Egurrola has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danielle van de Donk on 80 minute.
