Today marked the first match of Group D at the UEFA European Championship 2024, with Poland and the Netherlands facing off in Hamburg.
The main question for the Polish team was whether Barcelona's star striker Robert Lewandowski would be fit to play. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready and started the match on the bench.
The teams exchanged goals in the first half. Buksa opened the scoring for Poland, assisted by Zielinski, but Gakpo equalized for the Netherlands with an assist from Ake.
In the second half, the favorites secured the crucial three points. Weghorst's precise strike clinched the victory for the Netherlands.
On June 21, Poland will play against Austria, and the Netherlands will face France. Tomorrow, France will play against Austria in the quartet.
