Spitse

Danielle van de Donk then hit the bar just before the hour mark with a dipping effort before Sherida Spitse saw her powerful free-kick flick out off the post.

Ten minutes later Spitse would deliver again from a free kick, this time defender Stefanie van de Gragt using her height in the crowded box to head it home and prompt tears to flow on the Italy bench.

Ten minutes later the game was put beyond the Italians when Spitse, this time from the right, delivering a firm, flat cross which defender Van Der Gragt met with a firm header.

Spitse then came close to doubling her personal tally with a 30-yard drive that struck the upright and came back into play.
