Holland subscribes to suspense in the Eurocup. A goal from Dumfries five minutes from time gave the victory to the Dutch team who had to appeal to the epic when they had the match against Ukraine on track. Wijnaldum and Weghorst put the hosts ahead, but Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk’s goals equalized the match. Until Dumfries came near the end to give victory to Frank de Boer’s team.
The Netherlands stepped on the grass of the mythical Amsterdam Arena, a stadium that now bears the name in honor of Johan Cruyff , knowing it is a favorite against Ukraine and that boldness was seen from the moment he started the ball. After the whistle, Memphis Depay grabbed the ball and was about to make the first after an excellent play. The future Barcelona player, unless a team with a healthy economy frustrates the signing, is in the perfect degree of maturity and is going through the best moment of his career. Even his level is higher than that player who signed United with all the hype in the world and who did not triumph at Old Trafford.
Holland continued to make merit in the first minutes of clear orange color but Ukraine’s goal, Bushchan , was in charge of keeping a Ukraine alive with the necessary talent to be dangerous on the counter. And of course it was. Yarmolenko is synonymous with danger and that reached the goal of a Stekelenburg that at 38 years sponsors a young and hungry bloc that is one of the favorites for the European Championship, even if Van Dijk is not there.
And the award for the Netherlands came five minutes into the second half. Frank de Boer’s team was deserving it and they got it. It was Wijnaldum , the former Liverpool and recent PSG signing, who came from the second row to scrape a ball inside the area and score the first goal for the Netherlands. Puro Wijnaldum : arrival and goal. The Netherlands had the game in hand and there would be more drama for Ukraine. Weghorst caught a ball from the area to make the second goal for the Netherlands and sentence the game.
Yarmolenko is scared
When everything indicated that the Netherlands had it done, Yarmolenko appeared in the Dutch area to score a flag goal with a quarter of an hour remaining. Three days after kickoff, the goal of the tournament had already been scored. The Ukrainian team still had the right to dream. And the dream came true when Yaremchuk finished only inside the area and his header went to the back of the net.
When everything heralded drama for the Netherlands in the debut, Dumfries appeared five minutes from time to, with a good header, score the winning goal and give Frank de Boer’s team half a pass to the round of 16 of the European Championship . Holland starts off on the right foot … and suffering.
