Wout Weghorst wasted no time in making an impact, scoring shortly after coming on as a substitute to secure a crucial 2-1 victory for the Netherlands in their Group D opener at Euro 2024.
Poland surprised everyone by taking the lead early on with Adam Buksa’s header, but the Netherlands quickly equalized through Cody Gakpo’s deflected shot, leaving the score level.
The match turned out to be a tight contest, with Poland giving the Netherlands a run for their money, especially in the second half.
Despite missing Lewandowski, Poland had their chances to go ahead in the second half but couldn’t convert, paving the way for Weghorst to become the hero with a decisive goal.
Weghorst, known for his clutch performances, added another significant international goal to his tally, reminiscent of his late equalizer against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup quarterfinals.
