DUNEDIN, New Zealand : The Netherlands have scored just twice at the Women's World Cup so far but coach Andries Jonker said they will aim to pile on the goals against Vietnam on Tuesday to avoid red-hot Sweden in the last 16 by finishing as Group E winners.

Vietnam are already out of contention for the knockouts and while Portugal can still qualify with an unlikely win over the Americans, the U.S. and Netherlands will be favourites to advance, with goal difference set to decide the top spot.
