Italy and the Netherlands were eager to join England and the United States of America in the semis. England beat Norway 3-0 in their quarterfinal clash, while the US knocked out the hosts, France, beating them by 2-1 in Paris on Friday.

It was goalless in the first half of the Italy-Netherlands match. In the second half, the Dutch upped the tempo as they pushed numbers forward.

The Netherlands won a set-piece and they made it count.

The Dutch were smelling blood, winning one free-kick after the other. The Italians were aware of the threat posed by their opponents in the dead-ball situation. That, however, did not stop them from committing fouls inside their half. The Dutch, once again, punished them with yet another header.
