Wout Weghorst scored less than two minutes after coming on as a substitute to earn the Netherlands an important 2-1 win in the opening game of Group D at Euro 2024.
Poland took a surprise lead after only 16 minutes thanks to Adam Buksa’s header, but the Netherlands deservedly leveled the scores less than 15 minutes later after Cody Gakpo’s deflected shot flew past Wojciech Szczęsny. It was a closer game than perhaps many would have expected and Poland caused the Oranje problems throughout, in particular in the second half.
That was Buksa’s seventh international goal in just 16 caps as he continues to be an adept deputy for injured talisman Lewandowski, who Poland is confident will be fit enough for the team’s second group game against Austria. However, the Netherlands soon got the goal its early dominance deserved as Gakpo’s effort from outside the area took a fortuitous deflection and wrong-footed Szczęsny in the Poland goal.
