This 2-1 triumph over Portugal in Tilburg guaranteed the great work in the matches against Scotland and Spain did not go to squander as England fixed best spot in Group D. 

What's more, in spite of the fact that it was a long way from an enticing England execution, the periphery players got by chief Mark Sampson brought home the three focuses. 

Duggan contributed to rebuff a goalkeeping goof, and Parris terminated home in the 48th moment to reestablish England's lead after Portugal had turned into the principal group to score against the Lionesses at this competition. 

It made Sampson's group the main senior England side, male or female, to take greatest focuses in the gathering phase of an European Championship finals. 

In any case, the watching France mentor Olivier Echouafni would have adapted minimal in front of Sunday's enormous match, which will be played in Deventer. 

Sampson rolled out 10 improvements, with just Millie Bright making due from the beginning line-ups that amazingly observed off Scotland and Spain. 

Laura Bassett, the safeguard whose possess objective against Japan in the 2015 World Cup semi-finals finished their title trusts in that competition, captained the side. 

In came three players each with more than 100 tops, in appropriate back Alex Scott and midfielders Fara Williams and Karen Carney, while Duggan achieved 50 years of England appearances. 

What's more, Duggan was skilled England's seventh-minute opener by a howler from goalkeeper Patricia Morais, who cut a kick out directly at the England striker. Duggan was rapped on the legs by the ball however unquestionably brought it under control and let go in from 25 yards for her second objective of the competition, and seventeenth of her vocation for England. 

Be that as it may, they were shockingly gotten out by Portugal in the seventeenth moment when cumbersome protecting permitted Carolina Mendes to tap in an equalizer from Diana Silva's low cross. 

Furthermore, Mendes may have had a moment minutes after the fact yet wasted a headed open door. 

Britain went level through to the break, worryingly so for Sampson. Of those elevated to the beginning XI, there was no one clearly asserting some authority to remain there for the quarter-finals, maybe except for Duggan. 

Be that as it may, England reestablished their lead in the third moment of the second half. 

Parris gathered a flicked ball forward by her Manchester City club-mate Izzy Christiansen and indicated industriousness in battling off encompassing safeguards before punching a low complete past Morais. 

Splendid cleared a path for England's consistent bad habit skipper Jordan Nobbs just before the hour, and the midfielder bubbled a shot simply off focus as she hoped to have a quick effect. 

The vim in Portugal's diversion from the principal half had left, and the equalizer that would have seen them go with England through to the last eight never looked like coming. 

In the interim, Caroline Weir's first-half strike was insufficient to send Scotland into the knockout stages notwithstanding the reality her crush and-snatch objective settled a 1-0 triumph over Spain in Deventer.
