Cody Gakpo is the Player of the Match for Poland vs Netherlands by Dailysports

Poland and the Netherlands played their first group stage match of Euro 2024 in Hamburg. The teams exchanged goals in the first half, but the Poles couldn't hold onto the draw. The Netherlands secured victory thanks to substitute Wout Weghorst.

Ronald Koeman's squad looked much sharper, but only managed to clinch the win in the final moments. The first goal for the Dutch team was scored by Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo, who, according to the Dailysports team, was the best player on the field.

The 25-year-old played for 81 minutes. During this time, the forward touched the ball 53 times (which is quite a lot for a player in his position) and completed 26 passes with 85% accuracy. Besides his goal, he also recorded 3 key passes and 5 crosses. Gakpo also made 2 tackles, attempted 4 dribbles, and had 5 shots on goal.
