EURO 2024: Netherlands Off to a Flying Start with 2-1 Win Over Poland
The Netherlands national football team kicked off their UEFA Euro 2024 campaign on a high note, defeating Poland 2-1 in a thrilling match. The Dutch team's victory was spearheaded by goals from Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst, with the latter making a remarkable impact by scoring with his first touch of the tournament.
The match began with Poland taking the lead through a strike from Nicola Zalewski, but the Netherlands quickly equalized through Gakpo's deflected shot. Weghorst's goal later in the game secured the win for the Dutch team, marking a strong start to their campaign in Group D.
Gakpo's goal was a notable milestone, as it drew him level with Cristiano Ronaldo in the record books. The Dutch forward has now scored in each of his last four consecutive European Championship and World Cup group stage games, a feat achieved by only three players in the 21st century.
The Netherlands' victory sets them up for a promising tournament, with upcoming matches against France and Austria in Group D. With this win, the Dutch team has established a strong foundation for their Euro 2024 campaign.
