The first match of Group D in EURO 2024 took place this afternoon, featuring Poland and the Netherlands. At the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, the two national teams put on a show, with both sides playing very offensively.
The match was immediately unlocked with Buksa's goal in the 16th minute, putting the Poland national team ahead right away. But the Oranje's response was not long in coming; after settling in Poland's defensive half, Gakpo equalised in the 29th minute.
In the second half, the two teams continued to fiercely compete, and in the end, just two minutes after coming on, Weghorst made the most of his skills in the penalty area, capitalizing on a fantastic cross from Ake and scoring past Szczesny. This gave the Netherlands the lead, which they held until the end of the match.
Noteworthy was the excellent performance of Milan's Reijnders, who was fielded as an attacking midfielder by Koeman, while Zirkzee (the main target of the Rossoneri's transfer market) remained on the bench for all 90 minutes, as pointed out by MilanPress.it.
