Les Pays-Bas ont battu la Pologne (2-1) lors de la première journée de l'Euro 2024, dans le groupe D, où figure également l'équipe de France, dimanche 16 juin à Hambourg.

The "Oranje", dressed in blue for the occasion, showed all colors to the "Bialo-czerwoni" (Red and White), which they clearly dominated.

Driven by their imposing and colorful contingent of supporters, the Dutch nevertheless negotiated their start very poorly, like their captain Virgil Van Dijk. who was surprised on a corner in the 16th minute by Adam Buksa.

Leading 1 to 0, Ronald Koeman's men quickly regained their senses and narrowly missed the equalizer by Van Dijk (20th), then Depay (22nd).

Weghorst, supersub

It was ultimately Cody Gakpo who obtained the inevitable equalizer with a shot deflected slightly by a Polish defender into his own goal (29th). It was not until the 83rd minute that Wout Weghorst, who entered shortly before, regained his 2022 World Cup habits and freed his team.

Like Germany, Spain or Italy before them, the Netherlands have successfully entered the running, but will have to do more ;they want to worry France, vice-world champion, who faces Austria on Monday in Düsseldorf in the other match of Group D.

While waiting for this shock, the thousands of "Oranje" will be able to celebrate in the streets of Hamburg this success called into question in the 89th minute without a reflex save from Bart Verbruggen in front of Bartosz Bereszynski.
