The South American players started the final the strongest: they were dangerous twice through a penalty corner. Still, it was the Orange squad that took the lead after fifteen minutes: Maria Verschoor hit from close range after a turned penalty corner by Yibbi Jansen from van SCHC from Bilthoven had stuck in front of the goal. Shortly afterwards, Frédérique Matla doubled the lead by hitting hard with her backhand. For Matla, who was sent deep by SCHC player Laurien Leurink, it was her fourth goal of the tournament.
