WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of the final of the Women's European Championships as Denmark take on the Netherlands. Team news is on the way

Nadim and Van der Gragt fight for the ball down the left, each grabbing the other. The ref gives Netherlands the free-kick, and Nadim is booked for whinging.

We've not seen Netherlands threaten in a while.

...Harder curls over the wall and over the bar.

Nice from Denmark, Nadim picking up possession at inside-left and sliding a ball into the space behind the defence for Harder. Dekker has no option but to pull her down, and she is booked accordingly. Free-kick, 25 yards out...

Nielsen goes down the right and slings over a beautiful cross towards the far post ... Nadim, on the sprint and on the stretch, is inches away from poking home.

I wonder if Netherlands will change their approach at half-time. Their midfield is better than Denmark's, or has an extra player in it at least; if they defend a little deeper, they should be more solid without sacrificing any control.

This is the best final I've seen in a long while.

Van Luteren allows long ball from Sorensen to bounce, and Veje is onto it! But as she pulls back her left foot - probably to miss, given her efforts so far in this competition - Van Luteren cleans her out. I've no idea what the ref thinks she saw, but that was a penalty.

It's true that Harder hadn't scored in the tournament till just now, but she's played against Austria and Germany most recently, two serious defences. Netherlands are set up to go forward, and here we are.

I've no idea what Netherlands were doing there, playing such a high line with so little pressure on the ball, against a two-man forward line with the pace, skill and awareness of Demark.

GOAL! Netherlands 2-2 Denmark (Harder) Pernilla Harder is so, so good! She hangs on halfway, right of centre, waiting for the ball in behind - and when it comes, it's a belter. She sprints onto it, races to the box, dips inside Dekker, and drills a perfect finish, Solskjaer-style, in at the near post with the keeper expecting one towards the far. Fantastic stuff!

Denmark have done really well since going behind.

Lovely from Troelsgaard, guiding a pass one side of Dekker for Nadim to run onto around the other. She should hit it immediately - a Beardsley scoop would've scored - but her decision to go around the keeper was a fair one. Except Veenendaal timed her dive and grab to perfection, poking the ball away brilliantly.

GOAL! Netherlands 2-1 Denmark (Martens) Denmark have two players out guarding Van de Sanden, who lays back for Van Lunteren to square for Martens, just outside the box. Allowing it across her body, which she also uses to keep the ball away from Kildemoes, she takes a couple of touches to swivel her into a left-footer which slides past Petersen. On the one hand, the keeper should've done better; on the other, the shot was hit at precisely the right moment.

That said, it's hard to see how Denmark win for here - they needed to hold that lead a bit longer, sit back, and sort out some breaks.

After two disappointing semi-finals, this is a really fun game. More please!

Groenen is late as you like on Veje as she sidles around her, and is booked.
