The Orange Lionesses have also won against Finland with their reserves in the lead-up to the European Championship. A day after the victory of the A-team, coach Andries Jonker’s team won the closed training match in Leeuwarden on Friday with 3-0.
Lynn Wilms, Chasity Grant and Shanice van Sanden were the goalscorers. The latter has been passed for the European Championship, but is on the reserve list. She may come into the picture if the injured Lineth Beerensteyn has not recovered in time.
Beerensteyn also did not participate in the training match and for her the battle for participation in the European Championship is a race against the clock. The Netherlands will play the first match at the European Championship in Switzerland next Saturday. Wales is the opponent then.
It was the last match for the Netherlands before the European Championship. The European champion of 2017 travels to Switzerland on Monday and is classified in the so-called pool of death. In addition to Wales, top country France and defending champion England are the opponents.
