THE BALL – National Team scares the European champions (Women’s Football)
The national football team lost 2-3 against the Netherlands, who hold the title of European champions, but left an excellent image, especially for Portugal, until the end of a match that would, in theory, be unbalanced, due to the women’s history of the two teams.
The result, in fact, began to distance as the Dutch, who easily reached the 2-0 with only 16 minutes elapsed, following two corners. The physical superiority of the Dutch came to the fore, but Portugal had already been scared, with a goal by Ana Borges invalidated after intervention by VAR.
The reaction, but in the rear of the first part as Portuguese and they arrived well 1-2 for a reaction after taking it down, but in the rear of the first time, as well as Diana Silva, well defined for a decision after decision.
Portugal came in great in the second half, Tatiana Pinto almost scored with a header, Diana Silva equalized in the next minute, the 47th. Jessica Silva had something to do on the left side, the National Team could not bring panic to the Netherlands, but a violent shot, without a chance, by Van de Donk restored the Dutch advantage, now unfair.
From here, minute 62, why the bank of Portugal me, why the little it was possible to do from top to top of the explorers, who erred Portuguese to take the calm experience in the countries area, until the end.
