Seventh time lucky.

38 - Maarten Stekelenburg (38 years, 264 days) will become the oldest ever player to play for the Netherlands at a World Cup / European Championship, overtaking Edwin van der Sar’s record set in 2008 (37 years, 236 days).
1 - This is the first meeting between the Netherlands and Ukraine at a major tournament (World Cup or European Championship). The Dutch are unbeaten in their two previous encounters – both friendlies (W1 D1).
10 - The Netherlands had 10 shots without scoring in the first half against Ukraine - all four teams to have 10+ shots in the first half of a Euro 2020 game have failed to score (also Denmark, Italy and Switzerland).
Gini Wijnaldum attempted four shots in the first half for Netherlands vs. Ukraine, more than he managed in the whole of last season’s UCL campaign for Liverpool (9 games, 3 shots).
Looking lively in a more attacking role for his country.
GOAL! Netherlands 1-0 Ukraine (Wijnaldum 52’).
Gini Wijnaldum has now scored the same amount of goals for the Netherlands as Dirk Kuyt (23).
The Liverpool connection.
15 - Georginio Wijnaldum has scored 15 goals in his last 26 appearances for the Netherlands, after scoring just eight goals in his first 50 caps for his country.
Georginio Wijnaldum has just scored the Netherlands’ first goal at the European Championship since Rafael Van der Vaart scored against Portugal in Round 3 of the EURO 2012 group stage.
Oranje finally take the lead!
GOAL! Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine (Weghorst 59’).
2528 - Georginio Wijnaldum scores the first Netherlands’ goal at a World Cup / European Championship in 2528 days, when Wijnaldum himself scored at the World Cup 2014.
June 6: Wout Weghorst scores his first ever goal for Netherlands
June 13: Wout Weghorst scores his first ever competitive goal for Netherlands
What a week.
Wout Weghorst had just 4 apps (0 starts) and 0 goals for the Netherlands before last Sunday. Since then:
vs Georgia (started)
vs Ukraine (started)
A cool finish to put Oranje up 2:0!
Netherlands have scored 2+ goals in a single European Championships game for the first time since EURO 2008 (Huntelaar, Van Persie vs. Romania).
The Dutch are back.
GOAL! What a finish by Yarmolenko.
That could be the goal of the tournament!
