Netherlands equalised in the second half
to draw 1-1 with Sweden in the UEFA Women’s Euros Group C game at Bramall Lane.
The
clash of two of the tournament favourites was watched by 21,342, a Women’s
Euros record for a group stage game that did not involve a host nation.
There
had been few chances at either end when the Dutch lost goalkeeper Sari van
Veenendaal to a shoulder injury, as well as Aniek Nouwen.
Fridolina
Rolfo was close to beating substitute keeper Daphne van Domselaar from
distance, with the opener arriving 10 minutes before the break as Kosovare
Asllani crossed for an unmarked Jonna Andersson to finish.
Lieke
Martens forced a save from Hedvig Lindahl in response and Danielle van de Donk
put a good chance over the bar.
Jill
Roord capped a good move on 52 minutes to get the leveller and might have
scored again later on, but was thwarted by Magda Eriksson.
Rolfo
had another effort from distance but failed to beat the keeper.
