Substitute Lineth Beerensteyn scored the winner as Netherlands beat Canada 2-1 to secure top place in Group E of the Women's World Cup. Goals from Anouk Dekker and Lineth Beerensteyn secured the Netherlands maximum points in the group stage plus top place in Group E - and a 2-1 win over Canada. The match began with drama after a matter of seconds, when Canada were awarded a penalty after van Lunteren brought Janine Beckie down.After a four-minute delay while the referee consulted her VAR colleagues and the TV replays, the spot kick was withdrawn, and a free kick awarded in its place just outside the box.

There were plenty of chances, with Vivianne Miedema's deft movement and Danielle van de Donk's stunning bicycle kick effort both causing Canada goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe plenty of problems. Netherlands finally went ahead courtesy of Dekker's header, but Canada were level a matter of minutes later through captain Christine Sinclair. Substitute Beerensteyn essentially created her own winner, making a mazy run down the left before laying it off and racing into position to fire home and secure all three points.
