It also opens Group D at the 2024 European Football Championships: the Netherlands comeback and beat Poland in the final, defeated 2-1. The Poles took the lead with Buksa in the quarter of an hour, the Dutch momentarily equalized with Gakpo in the half hour, finally Weghorst’s winning goal in the 83rd minute. Austria-France will be played in the same group tomorrow.
In the first half Poland broke the deadlock, finding the advantage at the first real opportunity: in the 15th minute, Buksa’s header was perfect from a corner, making it 1-0. The Dutch selection shakes up, coming close to equalizing first with van Dijk and then with Depay, until hitting it in the 30th minute with Gakpo, helped by a deflection that beats Szczesny. We go like this to rest at 1-1.
In the recovery the Netherlands appear more lively and dangerous, but Poland withstand the shock wave, then Koeman pulls the rabbit out of the hat: in the 81st minute he takes away Depay and throws Weghorst into the fray, who repays him after just 2′, scoring the winning goal in the 83rd minute. Poland has the opportunity to equalize, but in the 90th minute Verbruggen says no to Swiderski and seals the result. I win Netherlands 2-1.
