The defending champion Netherlands is currently ranked first in the world. China lost to the Netherlands 0:3 in the group stage. An hour before the game, heavy rain suddenly fell at the Yves Dimanoir Stadium, and the wet field affected the speed of the ball. After the opening, the Chinese team actively sought small-scale cooperation and intercepted the opponent's passes many times. The Dutch team used their personal abilities to find opportunities on the wing. In the sixth minute, Dan Wen passed the ball back to the front of the goal from the bottom line. Chen Yi pushed the ball in front of the goal and the ball went straight into the goal frame. China led 1:0.

In the second quarter, the Dutch team, which was behind in the score, tried to attack directly from the middle. The Chinese team became more and more confident as the game went on, constantly affecting the opponent's rhythm through pressing and trying to gain possession of the ball. In the 26th minute, Matera of the Dutch team got a great chance in front of the goal and volleyed the ball, which hit the goal frame and bounced out.
