In the remaining match in Group B of the Euro 2024 qualifying round, the Netherlands welcomed Greece without the strongest squad due to injuries to a series of players such as Depay or Timber.
In the 17th minute, starting from a corner kick on the left wing, the ball was brought back from the right wing to the middle and De Roon, in an unaccompanied position, defeated goalkeeper Vlachodimos with a decisive kick, opening the score to 1.

In the 31st minute, from a pass on Dumfries’ right wing, Gakpo controlled the ball neatly before turning and volleying the ball into the Greek net, doubling the gap to 2-0 for the Netherlands.
6 minutes before the end of the first half, the player playing in Serie A for Inter Milan Dumfries assisted tall striker Weghorst for a header to increase the match score to 3-0.
The Netherlands actively slowed down the pace of the match when entering the second half. They did not apply as much pressure as before, but Greece with a let-down mentality could not create any significant opportunities.
Losing heavily to the Netherlands, Greece lost second place in Group B to their opponents.
