France v Netherlands: Women’s Euro 2022 quarter-final – live!

Minute-by-minute report: A semi-final place is up for grabs in this blockbuster showdown. Join Rob Smyth for updates

is a quarter-final: France and the Netherlands, third and fourth in the world rankings, playing for the right to face Germany in the last four. In simplistic terms, it’s the underachievers against the champions. And the underachievers are favourites.

There is a caveat - the absence of Vivianne Miedema, who was in Covid isolation for the games against Portugal and Switzerland. She is back in the starting XI tonight. Sadly it’s one in, one out for the Netherlands, as the great Lieke Martens is out of the tournament with a foot problem. France made a rampant start to the tournament, scoring five in the first half against Italy. Since then they have been a lot quieter - they lost the second half 1-0 to Italy, beat Belgium 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Iceland in what was, for them at least, a dead rubber.
