How many times do Dutch defenders want to fire attempted passes from deep straight to French players? It's just inviting problems.

Viviane Miedema is a passenger in this. The Dutch simply are not threatening.

What a strike that was on the volley.

That’s what Delphine Cascarino has in her locker. She can shoot from anywhere and they are always belters.

They are struggling to keep the ball in any sort of possession. You can see that they are chasing players, trying to keep their shape but struggling. When France go forward, they look a threat.

This is getting a bit ridiculous now!

A corner is half cleared but only as far as Delphine Cascarino, who fires a volley low and against the base of the post.

With everyone else watching, the ball pings across goal and away.

Another French chance goes begging.

Melvine Malard slices a shot wide from an angle.

Surely just a matter of time here.

The Dutch need to find some composure.

They can't keep the ball to relieve any pressure or pose any threat to France and they are panicking at the back when the side in blue drive forward.

Should be 1-0 France!

Kadidiatou Diani cross is hacked at sloppily by a Dutch defender and it tees up Sandie Toletti - in acres of space - for a shot from 12 yards that she slices horribly wide.

I’m seeing so much maturity so far from Daphne van Domselaar - I'm very impressed with her.

Questions have to be asked of the Dutch defence and midfield. There’s just too much space.

The French pressure is growing and it feels like a matter of time before one of their efforts finds the back of the net - Daphne van Domselaar is keeping the Netherlands in at the moment. The goalkeeper, alongside the Dutch band, has been their most involved player so far.

The Netherlands are looking very shaky. We speak about their midfield and forwards, they are a threat.

But defensively, teams can certainly get at them.

Daphne van Domselaar is getting peppered.

Delphine Cascarino cuts inside and unleashes a shot that the Dutch keeper has to push away with one big hand.

It's all France.

I just love the transitions. We had some nice build-up from the left-hand side by the Dutch. They lost the ball and it ended up with Kadidiatou Diani.

Kerstin Casparij is going to have her hands full tonight.

Wendie Renard gets her head to the ball again as it is swung over. She is just out off by a defender, though, and heads well wide.

France are turning the screw. They win another corner.

That's where the Dutch have to be careful because France can commit players forward. They commit the full-backs forward straight away.

Daphne van Domselaar is suddenly very busy.

She is forced to tip away a sliced attempted clearance from Dominique Janssen and is then quickly up to position herself to save a long-range shot that follows.

France asking questions.

Cross or shot?

Probably the first.

Lineth Beerensteyn's swerving ball is plucked out of the air by France keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin as it threatens to head towards goal.

Chance!

France break after Wendie Renard's defensive header. Kadidiatou Diani is too quick to be caught but when her low shot from just inside the box comes it is straight at Daphne van Domselaar.

You can put this down to nerves, but good pressure from France. The Dutch have to be better when they win the ball back. They got to try and keep the passage of play going.
