Netherlands 2-0 England Women's Euro 2017 Semi-Final

The Dutch took the lead in the 22nd minute as Vivianne Miedema rose to head home Jackie Groenen's pinpoint cross from the right wing, as England struggled in the absence of influential midfielder Jill Scott due to suspension.

England went close to equalising minutes later but Netherlands captain Sherida Spitse turned Jade Moore's header from a corner onto the post, with the ball eventually bouncing away to safety.

Danielle van de Donk doubled the Dutch advantage in the 62nd minute, pouncing on Fara Williams's headed back pass and deftly lifting the ball over the despairing dive of England goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain.

England peppered the Dutch penalty area with long balls and went close to scoring on several occasions, but they could not find the goal that would get them back in the game in front of the partisan sell-out crowd.

Lieke Martens had the final say, firing home a deflected shot deep into injury time to give the Dutch a measure of revenge for their 2009 semi-final loss to England and set up a mouth-watering tournament decider on Sunday.

At the sold-out Twente stadium in Enschede with more than 27,000 people expected, hosts the Netherlands will play England for a place in the Euro 2017 final in a clash of two teams with a perfect record at the tournament.

"It's the same as all our matches because we're really focused on going from one match to another match," said Dutch coach Sarina Wiegman, adding her team was "more confident than before."

"Again tomorrow we would like to show everybody who we are, fight in the match and play pretty football if possible."

"We have to be well organised first, and we have to cooperate as a team, and as we do, when we keep possession of the ball, then we can start attacking."

Sweeper Stephanie van der Gragt is in doubt for the hosts after picking up an injury in the Netherlands' 2-0 quarter-final win over Sweden.

England without Bardsley and Scott

England will miss keeper Karen Bardsley with a broken leg she sustained in the 1-0 quarter-final win against France, and midfielder Jill Scott, suspended after two bookings.

Scott scored the decider when the two teams met in the 2009 semi-final, handing England a 2-1 win after extra time, and coach Mark Sampson labelled her "a world-class player."

"But if there's any team who are going to lose Jill Scott and feel completely confident in who is going to come in, it will be this English team," he said.

Arsenal players will mingle on and off the pitch, with Dutch keeper Sari van Veenendaal, Dominique Janssen, Danielle van de Donk and recent signing Vivianne Miedema facing England's Jordan Nobbs, Jodie Taylor, Fara Williams and Alex Scott.

"It will be tough playing against them but I think we definitely know their strengths and their weaknesses and hopefully can capitalise on that," said Nobbs.

"We respect them as players and they respect us. Definitely going into that match will be exciting and hopefully there will just be respectful handshakes at the end."

Taylor Euro 2017's leading scorer

The tournament's leading scorer, Taylor will be a cause for concern for the hosts, having scored five goals in just three games after sitting out the last group game against Portugal.

"We're aware of her qualities. We have to defend well as a team and we have to be well organised to make sure that she's not going to have enough space to score a goal," said Wiegman.
