The Netherlands tested China's goalkeeper Peng Shimeng just two minutes into the game, but Miedema's attempt in a close range was too weak to surprise Peng.

China wasted a good opportunity on 17 minutes when Wang Shuang was sent clear but her drill from a tight angle was denied by Sari Van Veenendaal before Miedema' header rattled the woodwork.

Miedema continued her havoc in the 28th minute as she shook off his marker after great footwork, but Peng stuck out a foot to parry it away.
