Netherlands 2-0 Portugal

Oh hang on. The ref is being called to the monitor. I'm surprised. It looked like a slip.

But kudos to the VAR official. Janssen does make more contact than initially seen. She leaves a boot in and trips Silva.

Is this a penalty?

No.

Portugal think there might be a chance as Diana Silva cuts inside Dominque Janssen and goes down. But there's very little contact. I think she might have slipped actually.

Off the line!

It's another free header from a corner for the Dutch, met by the scorer of the second goal, Stefanie van der Gragt. She finds the target and the keeper is beat but Carole is there to head away.

Here's a tip for Portugal - don't leave Van der Gragt on her own from set-pieces.

And yet Portugal continue to show flashes going forward.

Some fine work down the right creates a chance for Tatiana Pinto, but her effort is blocked by a defender in orange.

The scoreline tells you pretty much all you need to know. But just watching a small bit of the action here spells out the gulf in class.

The Dutch are quicker, stronger, smarter.

Much better from Portugal.

A neat ball is threaded through to Diana Silva, who is behind the Dutch defence but can't produce quality with her shot, which she loops tamely wide.

Should be 3-0!

A cross from the right from Lieke Martens finds Danielle van der Donk unmarked at the back post. She goes for the side-foot volley but sends her shot over.

Unless there is a mighty swing in this, the Dutch are going to stroll to a handsome win.

Portugal's defence just can't cope with anything sent in aerially.

Another Dutch corner is met by Damaris Egurrola, who heads over. Almost two goals for her and three for the Netherlands.

So, for the second Euros game running, Portugal find themselves 2-0 down and in need of a salvage job.

They've done it once, but the Dutch are a different kettle of fish to the Swiss.

Ines Pereira gambles by charging off her line and out of her box to meet a long ball forward ahead of Dutch striker Lineth Beerensteyn. The Portugal keeper gets it right.

It's 2-0 now, but here is a reminder of the first Dutch goal...

A string of errors, a lack of composure from the Portuguese defence and the goalkeeper just gifts the opportunity.

Van der Gragt needs a bit of treatment to her nose, which results in a plaster being applied.

She a tough one, though, and returns with a grin.

Catarina Amado has been shown a yellow card for the kick to the Dutch defender's face.

It's been great seeing the likes of Louis van Gaal and Roberto Martinez show support for their respective women's teams at Euro 2022.

And look who's turned up at Leigh Sports Village to cheer on Portugal.

Manchester City trio Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias are here to support the team ranked 30th in the world against the defending European champions.

We've got a perfect storm of drummer, trumpet player, clappers and goal music here. Modern football, eh.

The Netherland look a threat every time they go forward. They're dominating now. But Portugal have shown in flashes they are capable of creating chances.

Remember they came back from 2-0 down to draw against the Swiss.

Manchester City's Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias are here to support his fellow Portuguese internationals. He won't be too pleased with the start.

Great save!

Netherlands are on it now.

They set Lineth Beerensteyn away and she digs out a shot that is aiming to the top corner until Ines Pereira sticks out a hand to tip it wide.

Portugal nearly 2-0 down inside 10 minutes for the second game running.
