Netherlands and Neverlands; Spain 1-1 Netherlands (2-1 AET)

The Netherlands, largely outplayed for most of the game, were made to come from behind and nearly steal the win from a dominant Spanish team that should have settled the result much earlier in the game.

Spain played some cut-throat candy football, nearly breaching the Netherlands at least four times in the first half but were denied by goalie in yellow and twice goalie in post-white. 

Both teams - with their determination and spirit - were advocates for the quality and pride ubiquitous within the tournament. 

Spain sizzled in attack and continued to push the Dutch back, relentlessly stepping up the pressure which finally paid dividends in the 81st minute when Oliver neatly netted from the spot. 

The Netherlands sparked into life after conceding, Stefanie van de Gragt leveling the contest with a fine left-footed strike in the first of 12 additional minutes added for injury time.

Gragt's goal was enough to send the contest into extra-time, but that was as far as the 2019 finalists would go, with substitute Salma Paralluelo's astute finish sealing the eventual win for Spain on 111 minutes.

Spain will progress to the semi-finals for the first time in their history, meeting either Sweden or Japan.
