Spain vs Netherlands LIVE: Women’s World Cup latest score as dramatic equaliser forces extra time
Lauren James ‘lost her emotions for a split second’ over red card stamp, Wiegman says
Spain face Netherlands in an all-European clash at the Women’s World Cup as the quarter-finals get underway in Australia and New Zealand.
Spain returned to form in the last-16 as they bounced back from their 4-0 defeat to Japan by thrashing Switzerland 5-1, with Aitana Bonmati playing a starring role with two goals as La Roja reached their first ever Women’s World Cup quarter-final.
The Netherlands were given a stern test by South African in Sydney but progressed thanks to a stunning display from goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar in the 2-0 win, as the Oranje look to go one step further than their Women’s World Cup final defeat four years ago.
Later, Japan face the biggest test of their campaign yet as they take on Sweden. Japan have been the standout team of the tournament so far, but Sweden offer a true test of their ambitions after the Olympic silver medalists knocked out the United States in the last-16.

Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain 2-1 Netherlands
111 mins: What a moment for Spain, if they can hold on. Paralluelo becomes Spain’s youngest ever goalscorer at the Women’s World Cup, and what a rising star she is.
It came just moments after Beerensteyn had another chance to put the Netherlands ahead – this time the forward lifted a volley over the bar from six yards after it broke in the box.

GOAL! Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain 2-1 Netherlands
SALMA PARALLUELO!!! What a goal this is from the 19-year-old, who could have made herself Spain’s hero!
It’s brilliant hold-up play from Jenni Hermoso, who then plays the ball around the corner and releases Paralluelo in behind. Aniek Nouwen makes the error of standing of, and Paralluelo works a yard of space to drill a stunning finish off the post and in!

106 mins: What a chance! That could have been it for the Netherlands! The electric Lineth Beerensteyn bursts through the Spain defence, who stand off her, and gets into the box. All the forward had to add was the finish, but it’s dragged past the post!

HALF TIME! Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain 1-1 Netherlands
Half time in extra time: Daphne van Domselaar was not really tested in those 15 minutes and Spain have stopped playing. If you would have offered Netherlands penalties when they were 1-0 down, they would have taken it. Now after getting the equaliser, it looks like they are playing for it.

104 mins: Spain’s attack now feels very predictable. The Netherlands almost get through with Beerensteyn racing to chase a long ball in behind. Spain goalkeeper Coll has to be sharp to get off her line and clear.

99 mins: Double change for Spain: and here comes Alexia Putellas. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner replaces Mariona Caldentey, with Esther Gonzalez also off. Eva Navarro is also on, so Spain have now made their six changes.

93 mins: What a clearance! That’s incredible from Ivana Andrés to deny Katja Snoeijs an open goal. Dominique Janssen made the overlapping run and put in a great ball across the box, but Andres somehow reached to flick it away.

EXTRA TIME! Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain 1-1 Netherlands
So the first quarter-final of the Women’s World Cup heads to extra time, after Stephanie van der Gragt’s dramatic equaliser rescued the Netherlands.
It was quite an incredible collapse from Spain, who completely forgot how to play after going 1-0 up through Caldentey’s penalty. It feels like the Netherlands have the momentum.
Spain are yet to bring on Alexia Putellas.

Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain 1-1 Netherlands
90+11 mins: The Van der Gragt rollercoaster almost took another twist, as the centre-back slices a clearance and it almost ends up in the back of the Netherlands net. Thankfully for her, Van Domselaar made the save.
To make this story even more incredible, Van der Gragt is retiring after the World Cup, so her equaliser has just saved her chances of playing another match.
