The ‘orange’ team endorsed a resounding 7-0 victory over Vietnam that gives it the pass as first in the group, relegating the United States to second position.
He is already in the round of 16, although not in the most brilliant way. The United States team, the clear favorite to win the title, got their pass to the final rounds of the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday at Eden Park in Auckland thanks to their goalless tie against rookie Portugal.
The Portuguese depended on themselves to also achieve the pass to the second round, but it could not be. The United States, despite being worth the tie, sought victory at all times and that made the feat of the Portuguese even more difficult, who finally placed third in group E and said goodbye to the competition.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, did know how to win. And how! The orange team endorsed a resounding 7-0 to Vietnam in Dunedin, New Zealand, in a match controlled at all times by the Europeans.
After 25 minutes of play, the score reflected a 4-0 that made it clear what the outcome would be. Lieke Martens, Katka Snoeijs, esmee brugts and Jill Roord —both twice— and Danielle Van de Donk They were in charge of scoring what, so far, is the biggest win of this World Cup.
With Vietnam and Portugal already packing their bags, the Netherlands enters the round of 16 as first in group E, and will most likely face off against Italy, while United States, secondwould look for their place in the quarterfinals against Sweden, all this while waiting for what happens in the last day of group G: Sweden faces Argentina and Italy faces South Africa.
