Netherlands coach Andries Jonker praised the performance of Daphne van Domselaar after the goalkeeper made a string of saves on Sunday to deny South Africa and help her team progress to the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup.
"If you compare her with other keepers, I think she's developed a lot," Jonker said after van Domselaar repeatedly kept the Banyana Banyana at bay. "Daphne is one of that new generation. They're athletic, they're in good shape, they've got good positioning, so the developments in that area are incredible and the Netherlands are right along there."
The gloss was taken off the Dutch victory, however, when Danielle van de Donk received her second booking of the tournament to rule her out of the meeting with Spain."So I was happy at halftime that we were leading 1-0 and in the second half I think we did much better, had much more control over the game.
