Netherlands victory over South Africa


Two goals in either half by Vivianne Miedema
were enough to hand the Netherldands a 2-0
victory over Banyana Banyana in the second
international friendly match played on Tuesday at
the Mandemakers Stadium in Waalwijk.
The hosts won the first encounter 1-0 on
Saturday.
Vera Pauw, head coach of the Sasol-sponsored
Banyana, made two changes to the side that
started the first match – bringing on Jermaine
Seoposenwe and Linda Motlhalo for Thembi
Kgatlana and Sanah Mollo.
The home side made wholesale changes as they
brought in ten players – with only captain
Sherida Spitse retaining her place.
Like in the first encounter, the visitors started on
the back foot as the home side was calling all
the shots.
But the defence managed to hold firm until the
31st minute when Miedema was unmarked and
sent in a curler that beat Banyana goalkeeper
Roxanne Barker – whose fingertips were not
enough to stop the ball.
