The Orange faced a 2-0 deficit after 2.5 minutes. It was thanks to Laura Aarts, goalkeeper of the Utrecht UZSC, that it was only 5-3 for the Spanish team halfway through. The Netherlands came back to 5-5, but the Orange never took the lead. In the last quarter, after 6-5, it quickly became 8-5 after the third quarter, with which the game was almost decided.
