France 1-0 Netherlands LIVE! Perisset penalty - Women’s Euro 2022 result, match stream and latest updates

France vs Netherlands LIVE!

France are celebrating reaching the semi-finals of the Women’s European Championship for the very first time. Les Bleues will face Germany in Milton Keynes on Wednesday evening for a place at Wembley after deservedly dumping out the holders at Rotherham’s New York Stadium.

It was Chelsea full-back Eve Perisset’s extra-time penalty that eventually settled a heavyweight Euro 2022 quarter-final affair in South Yorkshire, awarded after a VAR check following Dominique Janssen’s foul on Kadidiatou Diani. That decisive effort came after France had dominated proceedings, creating scores of brilliant chances but failing to break the deadlock.

The Dutch welcomed back Arsenal legend Vivianne Miedema for Saturday’s contest, but it was the heroics of goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar and defender Stefanie van der Gragt that almost forced the lottery of a penalty shootout despite a thoroughly one-sided affair. However, the French ultimately retained their composure to end their quarter-final curse in this competition at long last.
