Portugal’s Telma Encarnação scored one goal and set up the other in a comfortable win over their fellow Women’s World Cup debutants Vietnam, sending the south-east Asian side out of the tournament at Waikato Stadium.
Portugal are third in Group E with three points and will face the USA in their final group game in Auckland while Vietnam, yet to score or pick up a point, take on the Netherlands in Dunedin. Both matches will be played on Tuesday. The USA are level on four points with the Netherlands but top the table on goal difference after the teams drew 1-1 earlier on Thursday.
