Netherlands 2(2) - 2(4) USWNT: as it happened
Well, that's it from us today, we'll see you for the semi-finals! Thanks for joining!
What a game! The US are into the semi-finals at the Olympics where they will face Canada. And how costly that Martens miss from the spot in normal time was. She may well have been the fifth taker for the Dutch as well.
Rapinoe, who else, to send the US through... and it's blasted into the top corner! The US go through on penalties!
Aniek Nouwen now... and Naeher saves!
Christen Press... and it's there! Nice and easy from the forward, wrong-footing the keeper to make it 3-2!
Stefanie van der Gragt for the Dutch... what a goal! Struck with venom and in off the post! That's 2-2!
Alex Morgan steps up for the US... and scores! Left-footed into the same side! 2-1 to the US!
Dominique Janssen next up... and its placed into the corner! 1-1!
Rose Lavelle... scores! 1-0 USA!
Saved! What a stop from Naeher!
Netherlands first up... Miedema.
Morgan and Press both missed in that shoot-out, with Horan and Lloyd finding the net.
The US do not have fond memories of the last Olympic shootout they were involved in in 2016, when Sweden won from the spot.
Morgan drives into the area but is bundled off the ball by two defenders and the whistle goes! Penalties will decide this one!
One minute remaining...
Corner for the US as the Dutch defence nick the ball off Press' boot. It's cleared but sent back in by Dahlkemper, a first-time Horan effort flashing wide.
Rapinoe! A nice run and a little shuffle to get the ball on her left opens up the opportunity but she blasts over.
Morgan is hanging on the shoulder of the last defender now looking for another opening like that last one.
Morgan again and this time it's in after a terrible mix-up at the back but again the flag is up... this one is not as clear cut though.
Morgan! She thought she'd done enough there but just failed to make contact with an excellent Rapinoe cross.
Press has the ball in the net, as she often does against the Netherlands, but that one won't stand as she was well offside.
The Netherlands break and Miedema meets a cross but can only place a tame header wide.
Morgan turns and shoots, earning a corner.
The US get the ball rolling for the final 15!

Beerensteyn! Just over from a snap shot by the Bayern forward.
Two minutes added.
Goal kick to the US and Naeher is taking her time. The Netherlands have taken this mini-half on points and the US have barely been out of theirs.

Groenen and Morgan get into a tangle with the US star coming off worse, but she's ok to continue.

It's ruled out for offside! 2-2 it remains in Yokohama.
Martens has the ball in the net and to VAR we go!
Corner to the Dutch as Beerensteyn is bundled off the ball. The Bayern Munich forward has been a thorn in the US' side.

And that's the whistle! To extra time we go!
Rapinoe delivers but it's not her finest effort and goes straight out for a goal kick.
The US have a free kick out on the right as Van de Donk clatters into O'Hara. They'll send everyone up for this...
It's end to end now with both sides wanting to avoid extra time! Will anyone make the breakthrough?
Five minutes added!
Close! Rapinoe breaks on the left and her cross is met by Press, whose clipped shot flashes wide!

The US are emplying a high press and the Dutch seem to have little answer to it as the leaders carve out another blocked shot and a half chance after nicking back possession.

Martens! It's a decent effort from the Barcelona striker but Naeher makes ther stop.

And we're off! Netherlands get the ball rolling!
And the Star Spangled Banner rings out across an empty stadium... we're about to get going!
Looking at the team sheet for the game against Australia, Andonovski has switched out his entire forward line today. Fair enough, given they failed to score against the Matildas but Christen Press has found the net in her last two appearances against the Dutch.
Canada vs Brazil is one the USWNT will have an eye on as the winner of that game will face the winner of this game in the semi-finals.
Elsewhere in the quarters, GB are currently beating Australia 2-1, Canada and Brazil are deep into extra time after a 0-0 draw on the 90 and hosts Japan are level with Sweden in the first half at 1-1.
Netherlands starting XI confirmed
No real surprises from Sarina Wiegman, who will be looking to hit the US early through Martens and Miedema while controlling the ball in midfield through the hugely experienced Daniëlle van de Donk.
USWNT starting XI confirmed
Vlatko Andonovski has announced his starting line-up and both Morgan and Rapinoe start on the bench. Veteran Carli Lloyd will lead the line with support from Lynn Williams and Tobin Heath while Julie Ertz anchors the midfield.
USWNT seeking fifth Olympic Gold
That result was even more surprising given that the USWNT had won four of the past five Olympic tournaments and finished runners-up in 2000.
While the Netherlands largely cruised through the group stage, the US rather snuck through after requiring a draw against Australia in their final group encounter. That the final score was 0-0 suggested all is not well in Vlatko Andonovski's camp ahead of today's game amnd US stars such as Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, the Mewis sisters and Lindsey Horan will need to be at their best today if the USWNT are not to suffer a similar fate to Rio 2016 when they went out at the same stage against Sweden.
Under normal circumstances the USWNT would probably go into this game as favourites but a 3-0 defeat against Sweden in the group stage brought their incredible run of unbeaten games to a halt. The Netherlands, meanwhile, stormed to the top of their group, scoring 21 times. Star strikers Lieke Martens and Vivianne Miedema banged in four and eight respectively, the latter already an Olympic record.

Arguably the two strongest sides in the world are meeting in the last eight in Tokyo, in a repeat of the 2019 World Cup final in which the USWNT beat the Netherlands 2-0.
