The Netherlands are at the top of Group C. Without trembling, the Oranje equaled Italy's performance the day before and won their third in a row in this Euro. Faced with a very weak North Macedonia, the Dutch quietly flew over the discussions despite a slight fear when the Macedonians hit the post in the first half. But the man of the match and even of the first round is undoubtedly Georginio Wijnaldum. Thanks to a nice double on the Amsterdam lawn, the neo-Parisian now has three goals in this Euro. And he brings his counter in selection to 25 units. While the Netherlands were already leading 1-0, thanks to Memphis Depay, the latter, perfectly served on the left of the box, fired a cross shot from the right that Stole Dimitrievski against the ground.The ball returns to Wijnaldum who leaves no chance for the goalkeeper with a recovery from the left (2-0, 50th).
The Blues are getting closer to qualifying '
Eight minutes later.
Depay reappears on the left of the surface, he delays before serving in withdrawal Wijnaldum, who appears in the back of Musliu and adjusts the Macedonian goalkeeper with a flat left foot (3-0, 58th).
Euphoric, he could have afforded an astonishing hat-trick at the end of the match.
But his attempt from the outside of the foot just grazed the Macedonian amounts.
His waste-free performance proves the former Liverpool player has become a vital link in the Netherlands.
And validates, in parallel, the good choice of Leonardo to have recovered the player for the PSG while he was in advanced discussions with Barcelona.
In the other group C match, Austria took second place in the group by winning 1-0 against Ukraine thanks to a goal from Baumgartner (21st). In turn, Ukraine is third with 3 points. A result that makes the French team temporarily happy since the Blues, before tonight's matches between Russia and Denmark on one side and Finland and Belgium on the other, already know that a third of his group will have fewer points than France, if by chance the latter were to lose against Portugal on Wednesday.
