NETHERLANDS BEAT UKRAINE IN THRILLER, ENGLAND EDGE CROATIA


Netherlands claimed their first win at Euro 2020 after in a hard-fight match against Ukraine. The Netherlands looked set to win their opening match, but Ukraine staged a comeback before Denzel Dumfries netted the winner.

After a goalless first half, the Netherlands came on to the pitch with a stronger determination. Georginio Wijnaldum scored the opener in the 52nd minute, and Wouter Weghorst added the second six minutes later. Then Ukraine were back into the match with a goal from Andriy Yarmolenko in the 75th minute. Just four minutes later, Roman Yaremchuk stunned the crowd in Amsterdam with the equaliser. However, Dumfries turned hero for the home side with the winning goal in the 85th minute.

In another Euro 2020 match played yesterday, England passed their first test with a narrow 1-0 win over Croatia. It was a crucial match for England as they need a morale booster after losing to the same opponent at World Cup 2018. Raheem Sterling scored the winning goal in the 57th goal to give Gareth Southgate squad a good start in Euro 2020.
