Dumfries then scored his second goal of the tournament in the 67th round after a selfless pass from PSV Eindhoven’s team-mate Donyell Malen. The Netherlands have now won their last 22 games by scoring their first goal. They scored 68 goals and conceded only seven in those games.
Group C
Teams | matches | victory | Drew | loss | GD | Points |
Netherlands | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 6th |
Austria | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
Ukraine | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
North Macedonia | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | -3 | 0 |
With the Netherlands victory, North Macedonia is also the first team to be eliminated from the European Championship. The North Macedonians have lost two games in Group C and will finish fourth in the group regardless of the result of their last game against the Netherlands.
Austria must now beat Ukraine to finish second in Group C. A draw would probably be enough to get into the knockout round as third.
