Netherlands 2, Poland 1: Weghorst rescues Holland

Wout Weghorst’s 83rd-minute goal secured the Netherlands’ three points in their opening Euro game, allowing his team to come from behind after going down early.

Poland, who were without striker Robert Lewandowski for much of the game due to injury, changed the Netherlands’ plans in the 16th minute, when Adam Buksa scored skillfully from a dead ball. It didn’t take long for the Dutch to level the score, with Cody Gakpo scoring from outside the box in the 29th minute.

The Dutch maintained an attack-first strategy and dominated for much of the match, boasting almost 70% possession of the ball and hitting over 20 shots. They wasted their chances, putting just four on the board – the same number as Poland, who managed just eight shots.

Weghorst’s reputation as a super substitute served the Netherlands well and, just two minutes after coming on, the striker scored the go-ahead goal. The quick shot from close range was Weghorst’s first touch of the game and finally gave the Dutch the lead they had been looking for for almost 70 minutes.

What happened on Saturday?

Ten goals were scored in three games on Saturday, when the oddsmakers’ favorites won their matches in style. Switzerland achieved their first victory of the day by beating Hungary 3-1, while Spain defeated Croatia 3-0 in one of the most anticipated games of the group stage. The biggest surprise of the day, however, came when Albania scored just 23 seconds into the game against Italy. The advantage was short-lived: Italy equalized 10 minutes later through Alessandro Bastoni and, in the 16th minute, Nicolo Barrella scored the final goal of the game, giving the current champions a 2-1 victory.
