2022 U-20 WWC: Netherlands Lose To Spain In Semi-finals

Netherlands who eliminated the Falconets in the quarter-finals of this year’s FIFA U-20 women’s World Cup lost 2-1 to Spain in the semi-finals on Thursday.

Recall the Netherlands defeated the Falconets 2-0 after two first-half goals to reach the first-ever semi-finals in the competition.

But in Thursday’s last four clashes, the Netherlands found themselves 2-0 down in the first half following a brace from Inma Gabarro on 22 and 25 minutes.

Rosa van Gool pulled a goal back for the Netherlands in the 54th minute but Spain held on to qualify for the final.
