  • 5' Stefanie van der Gragt has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Spain needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Spain looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Salma Paralluelo scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' Netherlands started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.

  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Oihane Hernandez on 35.
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Spain winning 100% of all matches.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' Netherlands 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.
  • 55' The travelling Netherlands supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Netherlands is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 61' Lynn Wilms is replacing Jill Roord for the Netherlands side.
  • 66' 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.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Spain. Alba Redondo is replaced by Salma Paralluelo.
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sherida Spitse made 8 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' Ivana Andres has so much to prove this time. He replaces Laia Codina on 78 minute.
  • 81' Spain is taking the lead after the goal scored by Mariona Caldentey on 81.
