Netherlands Secures Dramatic Victory Over England in UEFA Nations League Semi-Final
Extra-Time Errors Prove Costly for England
The Netherlands pulled off a stunning come-from-behind victory over England in the UEFA Nations League semi-final on Thursday, with two errors in extra time proving costly for the Three Lions.
England had taken the lead through Marcus Rashford's penalty in the first half, but the Netherlands equalized in the second half through Teun Koopmeiners.
The match went to extra time, and it was there that the Netherlands took control. Denzel Dumfries put the Dutch ahead with a header in the first half of extra time, and Memphis Depay sealed the victory with a penalty in the second half of extra time.
The win sends the Netherlands to the UEFA Nations League final, where they will face either Spain or Italy.
