The early quarter of an hour is already over. England is the more active and better team. However, the Lionesses on the way to the gate still lack the punch and in some scenes the precision. The Dutch women are almost nothing to see because they are mostly tied on the defensive.

Leah Williamson plays a back pass to Hannah Hampton, who does not get the ball outside of her sixteen. Since no player is lurking in orange, it is only a short shock that has no consequences.

Hampon sends Hemp with a long ball to the left to the penalty area on the left. There the wing player is still stopped by Janssen. But she gets the ball in the face and remains lying down. Logically there is no penalty.

Hemp makes steam over the left wing and lifts the ball to the second post for surprisingly free russo. However, the 26-year-old does not optimally catch the ball and nods him past the goal on the right.

Against France, the left defensive side was a weak point for the English women. Sarina Wiegman did not respond directly to it, but changed the chain of four. Jess Carter acts inside next to Leah Williamson and Alex Greenwood has taken over the post of full -back.

On the other hand, Grant comes through for the first time and puts the ball back to Miedema from right in the penalty area. The striker puts the ball past Williamson with the first contact. However, the ball jumps away so far that the attentive hambepton can snap the ball.

It really starts with lively because the Lionesses have obviously made up for a lot. The actions still appear a little hectic, but Lauren James comes to the first goal after a cross from the left. The 23-year-old puts the header from about six meters to the right of the box from about six meters.

Start of the game
17:54
Edina Alves Batista leads the teams on the lawn with her Brazilian team. The hymns follow and then nothing stands in the way of the duel of the last two European title wearers.
17:45
After 23 encores, the direct comparison clearly speaks for the English women, who were able to score 14 wins. At the European Championships, however, the balance sheet is completely balanced after two encounters, and when the Dutch win in 2017, the Leeuwinnen in the semi -finals were able to prevail 3-0. The last duels were in the Nations League in 2023. Both nations were able to win their home game. Accordingly, it should be a game at eye level in a neutral field, which all fans can look forward to.
17:40
Due to the success against Wales, the Netherlands leads Group D at the moment and, in the best case, could even book the ticket for the quarter -finals today. The Elftal needs its own victory for this, and the Welshers are then not allowed to win against the French. If the Vice World Champions from 2019, who have not had a big tournament since then, have been successful in the quarter -finals, i.e. their task against the second British team successfully designed, the progress should be secured. The motivation of Miedema and Co. should be the motivation of annoying the English women.
17:29
For the English women, the starting position after the opening of the opening against France is clear: a further defeat is prohibited. Otherwise, the defending champions are already threatening today when France scores in the late encounter against the outsider from Wales. The pressure on the Lionesses is correspondingly high. Already at this early stage in the tournament you have to tackle any further game like a co-duel. However, they were able to demonstrate impressively in the following year, they were able to demonstrate in the following year that they were able to prove their strength in 2022 and the final. The team from the island must also get this quality back to the point in the top game against Oranje.
17:11
The Netherlands confidently mastered Wales 3-0. Accordingly, Andries Jonker sees no reason for large adjustments. Only Chasity Grant moves in and replaces Daniëlle van de Donk.
17:09
Sarina Wiegman only changes a change compared to the 2: 1 bankruptcy against France. Ella Toone from Manchester United replaces Beth Mead and is supposed to give the English game more structure.
16:57
Hello and welcome to the European Championship of women in Switzerland in 2025. Group D decides the second match day this evening. The defending champions from England, who are already under pressure against the Netherlands, are under pressure. The game kicked off at 6 p.m. in the Letzigrund in Zurich.
