"A pair of penalties from Cody Gakpo put the Orange in command, with the Liverpool forward seeing a hat-trick goal chalked off 11 minutes into the second half for offside. Gakpo teed up Tijjani Reijnders to make it 3-0 a minute later, and a header from Memphis Depay, Netherlands' record goalscorer whose link-up with the team was delayed after his passport was stolen in Brazil, rounded off the win in injury time."
"The Group G leaders are three points ahead of both Poland and Finland after the latter beat Lithuania 2-1. Ronald Koeman's men will be sure of at least a play-off spot if they defeat Finland, who have played a game more, on Sunday. A win and a shock defeat for Poland against Lithuania would all but guarantee Netherlands' place at the 2026 finals."
"Austria gained a lot of fans with their football at Euro 2024, and the Group H leaders turned on the style against San Marino. Ralf Rangnick's side claimed the biggest win in their history thanks to four goals from Marko Arnautovic and a brace from Stefan Posch. Romano Schmid started the rout, while Michael Gregoritsch, Konrad Laimer and Nikolaus Wurmbrand also got on the scoresheet."
Netherlands defeated Malta 4-0 with two penalties from Cody Gakpo, a Tijjani Reijnders goal set up by Gakpo, and a Memphis Depay header in injury time. Gakpo had a hat-trick ruled out for offside. The win leaves Netherlands top of Group G, three points ahead of Poland and Finland, and on course for at least a play-off spot depending on upcoming results. Denmark beat Belarus 6-0 with goals from Victor Froholdt, Rasmus Hojlund (brace), Anders Dreyer (brace) and Patrick Dorgu, keeping them top of Group C. Austria thrashed San Marino 10-0, featuring four goals from Marko Arnautovic and two from Stefan Posch, moving ahead of Bosnia-Herzegovina in Group H.
