FT: NETHERLANDS 3 - 2 UKRAINE.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

This is the first meeting between the Netherlands and Ukraine at a major tournament.
The Netherlands are unbeaten in the two previous encounters - both friendlies - winning 3-0 in 2008 before a 1-1 in 2010.

Netherlands
- This will be the Netherlands' first game at the Johan Cruyff Arena in a major tournament since the Euro 2000 semi-final against Italy.
- Since the start of Euro 1988, the Netherlands have reached four European Championship semi-finals, a record bettered only by Germany (six).
- The Netherlands have drawn just two of their past 22 games at major tournaments.
- Their 1-0 defeat by Denmark at Euro 2012 is their only defeat in their past 12 opening matches at major tournaments.
Ukraine
- Ukraine failed to reach the knockout stage in their two previous appearances at the European Championship.
- They won their first game against Sweden at Euro 2012 but have lost all five since. Only Yugoslavia, with six defeats between 1968 and 1984, have had a longer losing run at the tournament.
- Ukraine's goalless run of five matches at the Euros is a tournament record.

Refereeing & VAR seem to be a level above compared to what we’re served up in the premiership. Great game

Cracking game. Certainly Wales look a mile away from either of them.

check out the average positions of the Netherlands wing backs. that's how to play this system.
effectively attacking with 5 players, one in each channel, and you are much more able to recycle attacks and sustain pressure.
right wing back popped up with the winner as well
