Draw with the Dutch Keeps Underdog Greece Ahead of Favorites in the Nations League
Tijjani Reijnders equalized in the 89th minute as the Netherlands erased a 2-0 deficit and kept Greece from sealing the group lead.
- On Thursday, Greece held the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw in Thessaloniki, with Fotis Ioannidis and Giorgos Masouras scoring before the Dutch rallied late in the UEFA Nations League match.
- Greece remains the surprise Nations League group leader following a strategic overhaul of domestic soccer leagues designed to foster youth talent, recently securing away victories over Serbia and Germany.
- After Greece established a two-goal lead, Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk criticized his team's first-half performance as "unacceptable," noting they lost possession "far too quickly" before his 59th-minute header sparked the comeback.
- Former Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders struck in the 89th minute to rescue the draw, frustrating a Greek squad that matched the visitors' pace at Toumba Stadium throughout the contest.
- Despite the late equalizer, Greece defender Kostas Tsimikas said the team must "be humble and recognize that we played against a superpower," aiming to build on this result moving forward.
