At the Philips Stadion, Marten de Roon, Cody Gakpo, and Wout Weghorst each scored once as the Netherlands defeated Greece 3-0. With this victory, Ronald Koeman’s team has already won two of their first three games in Group B of the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

They have six points, which puts them in second place behind France by nine. In comparison to Koeman’s Oranje, France has played two more games.

In just their second victory since the World Cup, Cody Gakpo scored as the Netherlands defeated Greece 3-0 in Eindhoven to advance to the Euro 2024 competition.Marten de Roon scored the game’s first goal from a corner after Denzel Dumfries’ shot was deflected. Dumfries was denied an assist because to the tiny deflection, but he would receive two more before the half.

Eight minutes after Dumfries crossed for a leaping Wout Weghorst to head in, he passed to an unmarked Gakpo who had time to chest and fire home.At the half, the score was 3-0, but it may have been even higher if Odysseas Vlachodimos hadn’t reacted so quickly to stop a deflected Xavi Simons shot and stop Dumfries from scoring when he had a clear shot opportunity from 25 yards away.

The final score was 3-0, and despite the energetic Simons’ best efforts to score his first Oranje goal, Netherlands let up in the second half.With six points after three games, the Netherlands have surpassed Greece on goal differential to occupy second place in Group B. Both teams are nine points behind France, who have played one game more than Greece and two more than the Netherlands.

Ronald Koeman and the Netherlands secure a significant victory.Going into this game, the Dutch manager was feeling more and more pressure.

Since taking over the team again after the World Cup, he had only managed one victory in four games, which came against Gibraltar. He was off to a difficult start, and his roster selection was closely scrutinized.Much of that pressure is relieved as a result. The second and third goals, both of which were the result of extremely precise plays, should be understood in the same way.If Netherlands cannot follow this up with a victory in Dublin on Sunday, you can guarantee that Koeman’s detractors will be out in full force once more. However, for the time being, this much-needed victory buys the manager time and goodwill.
