The Netherlands national team, known as the Oranje, faced a challenging encounter against Germany, registering ten shots on target but struggling to convert their opportunities for a significant portion of the match. German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen's distribution was noted as not being entirely flawless, adding to the tension. Despite their difficulties, Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo emerged as the hero, scoring a crucial equalizer in added time. The goal was set up by Ruben van Bommel, who marked his debut for the Netherlands with a vital assist. This dramatic late intervention ensured the Oranje salvaged a draw, showcasing their persistence in a game where they initially found it hard to break down their opponents.
