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.

Great first two minutes!

good game this!

hopefully we will be seeing our wing backs getting as forward as the Dutch have so far

Cracking game this

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

**RichardM** · 13-06-21, 20:11

We had to wait a long time for a goal

**Hilts** · 13-06-21, 20:37

2-2.

Great game this.

**Whisperer** · 13-06-21, 20:53

3-2 FT - enjoyed that 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
