Tops / Flops Netherlands - Ukraine: Wijnaldum as boss, the Dutch mind has flaws

The great match of Wijnaldum, the stops of Bushchan and the mental excitement of the Dutch… Find the Tops and Flops of this match between the Netherlands and Ukraine (3-2).


Tops

Wijnaldum, boss match

The new Paris-SG player was able to show his future supporters all his class.

Slightly higher in the selection than with Liverpool, Wijnaldum was excellent.

He perfectly made the link between the different sectors of the game and accompanied de Jong well in the distribution.

He is the author of a magnificent volley that the Ukrainian doorman deflected beautifully.

But he was truly rewarded by opening the scoring after a lot of work from Dumfries (52nd).

Very active defensively, he ran a lot without ever really lowering in intensity.

Dumfries, everywhere all the time

The Dutch piston had a crazy activity this Sunday.

He blasted his right hallway, endlessly offering solutions.

Dumfries could have opened the scoring twice in the first half but first stumbled over Bushchan and then missed a nearly complete goal just before the break.

Misses that did not cool him off since he is involved in the three Dutch goals.

It is he who centers on the opening of the score of Wijnaldum (52nd) then on the goal of the break of Weghorst (59th).

He finally freed the Oranje by scoring the winning goal while the Ukrainians came back to 2-2 (85 ').

Bushchan, Ukrainian fortress

For his sixth selection, the Ukrainian goalkeeper will have been involved.

It was thanks to him that Ukraine joined the locker room at the break while still being 0-0.

He interposes himself in particular on Weghorst and especially on a magnificent volley of Wijnaldum.

Decisive, he disgusted the Dutch offensives in the first period.

He then had to give in three times after returning from the locker room.

He can't do much with the last two goals, but he's unhappy on the opener by pushing the ball into Wijnaldum's feet.

Flops

Van Aanholt, a little too discreet

The Crystal Palace full-back suffered from the comparison with Dumfries, who occupied the right lane.

Van Aanholt did not have as much offensive input as his teammate who created chances and offered solutions.

He was not particularly more reliable defensively as Yarmolenko often infiltrated his left side.

The Dutchman did not have a bad game but he is one of those who stood out the least in this meeting.

The Dutch mind

It could be in the Tops since registering a goal after being reached at the very end of the game demonstrates a great strength of character. But squandering a two-goal lead and easy domination with 15 minutes remaining is also worrying. Yarmolenko's sublime goal completely defeated the Dutch unit. The premises were in distress during the four minutes between the reduction of the score and the Ukrainian equalizer. Like Ukraine twenty minutes earlier. If they were able to bounce back this time around, that may not always be the case.
