UEFA group phase matchday 9 recap
[WED 11 APR 2018 – 05:25:57 UTC]
In the matches of the UEFA group phase played on MON 09-TUE 10 APR 2018, some of the top teams made their case for a trip to France.
- Denmark 01-00 Ukraine: Sanne TROELSGAARD found net twelve minutes from time to move Denmark back into second place in Group 4.
- Bosnia-Herzegovina 00-02 England: Toni DUGGAN and Jodie TAYLOR were the goalscorers as the Three Lionesses enjoyed 80% of the possession. Both sides finished with ten players, as England’s Alex GREENWOOD and Bosnia-Herz’s Amira SPAHIC both received two yellow cards. England take over first place in Group 1 from idle Wales.
- Israel 00-01 Serbia: The only goal of the match came from Milica STANKOVIĆ midway through the second half, lifting Serbia into a tie with Austria and Finland for second place in Group 7, though Serbia are behind on the head to head tiebreaker.
- Italy 02-01 Belgium: A penalty by Janice CAYMAN put the visitors ahead late in the first half, but Martina ROSUCCI answered shortly thereafter, and Cristina GIRELLI scored the winner for the Azzurre in the 80th minute. Italy have six wins from six matches and can secure their ticket to France with a win against Portugal in June.
- Ireland Rep 00-02 Netherlands: Midway through the first half, Lineth BEERENSTEYN and Sherida SPITSE had put the Netherlands ahead in dominant fashion. The Dutch held Ireland Rep to a single shot attempt as they opened a three point lead atop Group 3.
- Scotland 03-00 Poland: Poland seemed to have the better of things and earned a penalty early in the second half on a handball by Joanne LOVE. However, Scotland keeper Lee ALEXANDER saved Ewa PAJOR’s effort, and the match turned again twenty minutes later with a second yellow card shown to Poland’s Paulina DUDEK. Zoe NESS found net shortly thereafter, leading Scotland to a crucial victory that brings them within six points of Group 2 leaders Switzerland with a match in hand.
- Eliminated this matchday: Croatia, Faroe Is, Israel, Kazakhstan, Slovenia
