Women’s EUROs: Netherlands lead debutants Wales

In play

Still to come


A Vivianne Miedema milestone!


THERE’S THE THIRD!

Esmee Brugts is found at the back post from a free kick and slots in the third of the evening. The Dutch are cruising in the second half!

Wales 0-3 Netherlands


OFF THE WOODWORK!

Jill Roord has done it again! She’s played in by Vivianne Miedema, but is denied by the crossbar.

Wales 0-2 Netherlands


GOAL! IT’S TWO!

The Dutch strike again. This time it’s Victoria Pelova with the goal. A long ball over the top to Daniëlle van de Donk and she cuts it back to the Arsenal star in the box, who makes no mistake from close range.

Wales 0-2 Netherlands


Back underway!

The second half has kicked off. Can Wales find an equaliser?


HT: Wales 0-1 Netherlands

A gut punch right on the brink of half time for Wales, who had been defending brilliantly up until that point. Miedema with the goal.


GOAL! MIEDEMA SCORES!

The deadlock is finally broken and of course it’s her! Vivianne Miedema scores her 100th goal for the Netherlands with a fantastic strike from the edge of the area. Rifled into the top corner.

Wales 0-1 Netherlands


OFF THE POST!

First huge chance of the game falls to Jill Roord. The midfielder unleashes a thunderous effort, but she’s denied by the post. Let off for Wales!

Wales 0-0 Netherlands


30 minutes gone…

Still so far so good for Rhian Wilkinson’s side. The Netherlands are getting a little bit of joy down Wales’ right hand side, but are yet to carve them open.

Wales 0-0 Netherlands


15 minutes gone…

Still no breakthrough here. Wales are making the Netherlands work for their openings, of which there have been few so far. Some body on the line defending when needed.

Wales 0-0 Netherlands


The Netherlands are dominating possession in the early stages. Wales holding firm defensively so far.

Wales 0-0 Netherlands


Kick off

Underway in Lucerne.


An impeccably observed minutes silence ahead of kick off in memory of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who tragically passed away in a road traffic accident earlier this week.


The teams are out!

Anthems are underway.


The wait is almost over!

A little over 10 minutes until kick-off in Lucerne. Stay tuned!


The Dutch fans are also creating an outstanding atmosphere!


A sea of red in Lucerne!
