ROTHERHAM, England (Reuters) - France head coach Corinne Diacre said her side are here to build their own history after qualifying for the women's Euros semi-final with a 1-0 triumph over reigning champions the Netherlands on Saturday.

Eve Perisset scored from the spot on a penalty in extra time for the win, marking the first time France have managed to reach this stage at a European Championships. France will face Germany in the semi-finals on Wednesday, 27 July. They have yet to taste a major tournament final.

France dominated much of the game with 33 shots compared with nine, but Netherlands goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar denied them. "In terms of our fitness the players gave lots of answers this evening and defensively we also provided lots of answers. Forward Selma Bacha, Uefa's Player of the Match, said:"As players on the pitch we never had any doubt. I think the team was perfect this evening there's nothing to add.
