Portugal made its debut this Sunday in the Women’s World Cup, losing 1-0 to the Netherlands, currently second in the World Cup, in the competition held in New Zealand.
And the 13th minute turned out to be unfortunate for the Portuguese team, when Stephanie van der Gragt jumped above the Portuguese defense and scored the only goal of the match with her head. I also had to resort to the help of a video referee, who eventually confirmed the goal.
As you might expect, the Dutch have always had the upper hand in the game as they are the best team in the world. He was European champion in 2017 and is currently ranked second in the world.
However, the reaction of the Portuguese in the final part of the match created some problems for the Dutch team: Portugal’s most dangerous move belonged to Telma Encarnasau, who eventually broke through the difficult defense of goalkeeper Van Domselaar. Portugal made their debut in this way with a defeat at the World Cups, but showed pride and talent.
