They almost did it, even without their best forwards. Know more:
The Netherlands’ Jill Roord is congratulated by teammates after scoring her team’s first goal against the United States.The Netherlands got ahead of the United States early Thursday and then withstood a flurry of US attacks to preserve a 1-1 draw in its rematch of the 2019 Women’s World Cup final.
After coach Andries Jonker selected Lineth Beerensteyn for the team’s first match against Portugal, Beerenstyn went down with an ankle injury. With Jonker’s top forwards out against the United States, he turned to Katja Snoeijs, a 26-year-old attacker for Everton. Snoeijs was only informed she’d be starting against the US one day before the match. Jonker said the decision to give Snoeijs her first start of the tournament was a tactical one, because of how she fit with the team’s 3-5-2 formation.
Snoeijs said she didn’t feel pressure going into the match but still struggled to equal the level of intensity that the game brought and work within the system that Jonker had placed her in.
