Netherlands head into World Cup semi-finals after beating Italy
The Dutch, deserved victors in intense heat at the Stade du Hainaut, will face the winners of Saturday’s other quarter-final between Germany and Sweden, played later in Rennes.But the European champions stepped up their game after the break and both goals came from quality set-piece deliveries from Sherida Spitse.

But in spite of those boosts, the Dutch initially struggled to create openings against an Italian defence well marshalled by captain Sara Gama.
