Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Forsyth Barr Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Netherlands and Portugal.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Netherlands winning 100% of all matches.
  • 13' GOAL! Stefanie van der Gragt scores on 13. Assisted by Sherida Spitse
  • 18' Netherlands looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Stefanie van der Gragt scoring 1 goals.
  • 23' Portugal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 23.
  • 28' It looks surprising Netherlands does not make any changes. Esmee Brugts has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' 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 Danielle van de Donk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' Portugal seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 48' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Netherlands that had 8 games and scored 16 goals.
  • 56' Portugal receives a card for a hard tackle on 56.
  • 61' The travelling Portugal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fatima Pinto, as he is very good at scoring at Forsyth Barr Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Portugal team. Dolores Silva is replaced by Kika Nazareth on 67 minute.
  • 72' 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.
  • 77' 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.
  • 78' It’s gonna be a card for Danielle van de Donk.
  • 78' Portugal manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andreia Jacinto is hanging Andreia Norton on the field on 78 minute.
  • 80' Another change for Netherlands made on 80 minute. Danielle van de Donk leaves to be changed by Damaris Egurrola.
  • 84' The referee calls foul for Diana Gomes. He receives a card.
  • 87' Another substitution for Netherlands to replace Lineth Beerensteyn by Katja Snoeijs on 87 minute.
  • 90' Netherlands manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kerstin Casparij is hanging Victoria Pelova on the field on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Netherlands beats Portugal
