  • 95'
    FT: Italy 0-2 Netherlands. The Dutch players' intensity was too much for the Italian women to handle despite a good performance defensively and some shots on target. The players can be seen visibly upset, but that's football folks!
  • 90'
    5 min of added time!

    Double subs for The Netherlands, Dekker and Roord in, goalscorers Miedema and Van der Gragt out.
  • 85'
    Just five more minutes of normal time to go... The Dutch players are visibly excited, with the emotions starting to build!
  • 80'
    Another Sherida Spitse free-kick, another headed goal! The set-piece comes from the other side this time but the end result is the same. A lovely, floated cross finds the Barça centre-back who rises highest to nod past Laura Giuliani. Is there any way back for Italy now?
  • 79'
    GOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!
  • 78'
    Another yellow card for Italy! This time Daniela Sabatino is booked.

    GOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!
  • 66'
    Yellow card for Guangi.
  • 65'
    Foul by Guangi for nasty pull on a Dutch player, right when a decisive run was taking place.
  • 62'
    Manuela Giugliano gets a ticking-off for dissent after conceding a free-kick about 35 metres from her own goal.
  • 61'
    Beerensteyn, the substitute, shoots high over the bar as the ball bounces kindly for her on the right-hand side of the Italy penalty area.

  • 55'
    Subs for both teams! Daniella Sabatino on for Barbara Bonansea and Lineth Beerensteyn on for Shanice van de Sanden.
  • 55'
    Lieke Martens dribbles at the Italian defence and unleashes a shot, bringing a smart save out of Laura Giulani!
  • 52'
    Again a big chance for the Dutch girls. Van Lunteren's cross-over is just over.
  • 50'
    WHAT A SHOT FOR THE DUTCH WOMEN! A great save by Giuliani has kept the score at 0-0, but the Dutch have started off strong and there are no signs of slowing down.
  • 48'
    No changes in the line-ups in this half time break.
  • 46'
    Second half underway!
  • 45'
    HT: Italy 0-0 Netherlands. First half is goalless, and almost actionless if it wasn't for the occasional brilliance through Italy's random energy outbursts that have led them to a few shots on target, and the Dutch style of play, which remains beautiful, if not occasionally disorganized.
  • 45'
    Messy play from the Netherlands in the box, but a lack of accuracy in their passes harms them, and the ball ends up in Giuliani's hands.
  • 45'
    5 min of added time in this first half!
  • 42'
    The free kick lacked some energy and power and it is comfortably saved by Italy's goalkeeper. The Dutch girls might be regretting that one in a bit... First good chance they get.
  • 41'
    Attempt saved by Giuliani!
  • 40'
    Yellow card! Free-kick for the Netherlands on the edge of the Italy penalty area as Miedema pushes Elena Linari right as she was in the middle of an important action.
  • 37'
    Another chance goes a begging for Italy, as Valentina Giacinti gets in behind the Dutch defence to pick up a pass from Bergamaschi and send a low diagonal shot across the face of goal but a couple of feet wide of the far upright.
  • 34'
    Vivianne Miedema chases a looping pass up the centre, but Alia Guagni is on hand to prevent the Dutch forward getting to it... Not many clear chancea for the Dutch currently.
  • 32'
    Water break in Valenciennes. The record high temperatures all over France could not have come at a worse time...
  • 28'
    Stats so far! 38% possession for Italy, to a 62% for the Dutch girls.
  • 24'
    After a strong start, the Dutch have let Italy get more and more into the match in the last few minutes. Strong shots by the Azzuri women have left the Dutch defense a bit shaken up.
  • 20'
    And another one!!!! Italy now bringing the heat and getting closer to goals!
  • 17'
    Italy had it! The Dutch goalkeeper makes a tight, but nonetheless comfortable save. Stealing into a good position in the Netherlands penalty area, Valentina Bergamasci is on hand to chest down the ball as it arcs into the penalty from the left and is helped on its way by a Valentina Giacinit header, only to be stopped by Van Veenendaal.
  • 16'
    The Oranje girls have come onto the pitch to deliver. Their intensity is truly remarkable, but can they keep it going under these weather conditions?
  • 13'
    The Dutch currently holding possession.
  • 10'
    Desiree van Lunteren curls a cross from the right flank into the the Italy penalty area, but there’s nobody on hand in an orange shirt to convert.
  • 7'
    The Netherlands have started off this first half strong, but Italy's women are dispossessing very effectively. Sherida Spitse tries an attack from the centrefield, but it is quickly stopped my Manuela Guliano.
  • 4'
    The teams remain relatively unchanged since their last game, with Galli in for Girelli for Italy, while the Netherlands have kept the same line-up.
  • 1'
    AND WE'RE OFF!
