Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Netherlands kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 9' What a strike from Jill Roord! The score is 1-0.
  • 14' South Africa 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.
  • 19' 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 Lineth Beerensteyn suffering a number of foals already.
  • 24' Netherlands is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 29' Netherlands looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Jill Roord scoring 1 goals.
  • 30' South Africa manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Wendy Shongwe is hanging Jermaine Seoposenwe on the field on 30 minute.
  • 35' The travelling South Africa supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' It is a substitution in South Africa team. Bambanani Mbane is replaced by Tiisetso Makhubela on 42 minute.
  • 47' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 52' South Africa is showing some good football. However, South Africa are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' Sherida Spitse needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 62' Kholosa Biyana has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 67' The referee calls foul for Danielle van de Donk. He receives a card.
  • 68' What a strike from Lineth Beerensteyn! The score is 2-0.
  • 73' It looks like no one’s ball. Netherlands is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 75' Another change for Netherlands made on 75 minute. Danielle van de Donk leaves to be changed by Damaris Egurrola.
  • 80' It looks surprising Netherlands does not make any changes. Esmee Brugts has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
  • 89' Time for substitution for Netherlands. Esmee Brugts is replaced by Kerstin Casparij.
  • 90' Time for substitution for South Africa. Hildah Magaia is replaced by Noxolo Cesane.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for South Africa.
