Netherlands scores quickest goal of World Cup in opening win
Stefanie van der Gragt scored on a header in the 13th minute, leading the Netherlands to a 1-0 win over Portugal at the Women’s World Cup on Sunday as the 2019 finalists began their tournament run.
The goal by the 30-year-old van der Gragt, who plans to retire after the Women’s World Cup, was the quickest first goal of the tournament. The Dutch controlled the tempo of the game – Portugal’s first shot of the match didn’t come until the 82nd minute. On hand were 11,991 spectators, who were sheltered from the rain inside Dunedin’s covered Forsyth Barr Stadium, known as the Glasshouse, which has a capacity of 25,947.
Van der Gragt’s first-half goal gave the Dutch a lead and allowed them to play lockdown defence. Both teams played a physical game, but Portugal was unable to match the Netherlands’ technical mastery.
