Jill Roord is on fire! Man City star can't stop scoring as Netherlands set up Women's World Cup quarter-final clash with Spain after victory over South Africa

Jill Roord shone again for the Netherlands as a 2-0 win over South Africa saw them set up a mouth-watering Women's World Cup quarter-final with Spain.

TELL ME MORE: Despite being massive underdogs against the 2019 finalists, and in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup for the first time, South Africa proved early on that they were going to be a serious threat in this game. Jermaine Seoposenwe and Thembi Kgatlana linked up really well, with the latter having two chances in the opening stages as a result, both were saved by Daphne van Domselaar.

Lebogang Ramalepe got in the right position to block Lieke Martens' near-post header at a corner but the ball spun up into the air and Roord was able to head home from close range with just nine minutes on the clock. She has four goals at this tournament already.

The threat of the African champions didn't wane, even if they lost both Seoposenwe and Bambanani Mbane to first half injuries. Kgatlana was a serious problem on the counter, forcing three more saves out of Van Domselaar before the break. However, an inability to take their chances would come back to bite them. After Martens had a goal ruled out for offside, it was Lineth Beerensteyn who doubled the Dutch's lead after a shocking mistake that goalkeeper Kaylin Swart will not want to see back.

It was now or never for South Africa and they came close to getting back into things when Linda Mothalo's shot was brilliantly saved by Van Domselaar but otherwise the Netherlands saw things out rather comfortably, securing their passage to the last eight and setting up what should be a thrilling quarter-final clash with Spain.
