On Sunday evening, ten matches of the European Championship qualifying group stage were played. The most anticipated match took place in Amsterdam, where the Netherlands team, supported by their fans, faced Germany. Starting the first half excellently, Joachim Low's team felt the strength of the Dutch in the second half of the match, but still managed to recover and achieve a victory with a score of 3:2. The first half was fantastic for the Germans - in the 15th minute, Leroy Sane put the visitors ahead, and just 14 minutes later, Serge Gnabry increased the lead with a fantastic strike. However, the Netherlands team, making adjustments in the locker room, started pressing the opponents intensively in the second half and scored their first goal in the 48th minute - Matthijs de Ligt marked the team's jersey for the first time. In the 63rd minute, the Germans were hit with another blow - Memphis Depay equalized the score with a clever shot. At the end of the match, the teams played evenly, but in the 90th minute, the German team launched a great attack and silenced the entire Johan Cruijff Arena with a winning goal - Nico Schulz scored after Marco Reus's pass.
