Spain vs Netherlands LIVE: Women's World Cup quarter-finals - Latest score and updates

Spain and the Netherlands advance to the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup, while Japan faces a tough match against Sweden.

In a remarkable turn of events, Spain has made a triumphant comeback in the Women's World Cup last-16 match against Switzerland. After suffering a devastating 4-0 defeat to Japan, La Roja bounced back with an impressive 5-1 victory, led by the talented Aitana Bonmati who scored two goals. This victory marks Spain's first ever Women's World Cup quarter-final appearance.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands faced a tough challenge from South Africa in Sydney. However, they managed to secure a 2-0 win thanks to the exceptional performance of goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. The Oranje are determined to surpass their previous Women's World Cup final defeat four years ago and are eager to make their mark in the tournament.

Looking ahead, Japan is set to face their biggest test yet as they go up against Sweden. Japan has been the standout team in the tournament thus far, but Sweden poses a true challenge to their ambitions. After eliminating the United States in the last-16, the Olympic silver medalists are determined to prove their worth.

As the World Cup quarter-finals kick off, fans can follow live updates from the Spain vs Netherlands match. Spain made five changes for their last-16 victory, including giving first international starts to goalkeeper Cata Coll and centre-back Laia Codina, who impressively scored at both ends in the 5-1 win against Switzerland. Coach Jorge Vilda is likely to stick with these changes after the convincing victory, which may mean that Alexia Putellas will once again start on the bench for Spain.

However, the Netherlands will be without key midfielder Danielle van de Donk, who received her second yellow card of the tournament against South Africa and is therefore suspended for the quarter-final match.

The highly anticipated match between Spain and the Netherlands will take place on Friday 11 August in Wellington, New Zealand. Kick-off is scheduled for 2am UK time (BST).

For those eager to watch the match, it will be broadcast live on ITV 1, with coverage starting from 1:50am BST.

In summary, the Women's World Cup quarter-finals have begun with Spain and the Netherlands facing off in an all-European clash. Spain's impressive comeback and the Netherlands' determination to go further than before sets the stage for an exciting match. Additionally, Japan's encounter with Sweden promises to be a thrilling test of their ambitions. As the tournament progresses, fans eagerly await the outcomes of these exciting quarter-final matches.
