The Dutch national football team clinches an important victory in Ireland in the European Championship qualifier. Competitor Greece is also successful.
Bonds coach Ronald Koeman’s team won the European Championship qualification 2-1 (1-1) in Ireland. Greece, the closest competitor for second place, easily won 5-0 (2-0) against Gibraltar.
Adam Idah (4th minute) initially gave the hosts the lead in Dublin with a hand penalty, a few minutes later Cody Gakpo (19th) also equalized with a penalty. Substitute Weghorst (56th) from TSG Hoffenheim finally secured the victory. The Dutch are third in Group B behind the Greeks, who have the same points, and the sovereign leaders France.
Greece didn’t have much trouble with outsiders Gibraltar. Dimitrios Pelkas (9th) and two braces from ex-Stuttgart player Konstantinos Mavropanos (23rd/82nd) and Georgios Masouras (70th/90th+1) ensured the success. Like the Dutch, the Greeks now have nine points, but have already played one more game. (dpa)
