: Euro under-21: Netherlands' chances recede after Tuesday's results
The Dutch under-21s see their chances of qualifying for the under-21 European Championship recede after victories for Norway and Israel on Tuesday, including a last-second goal.
Qualification in danger
The Dutch under-21s see their chances of qualifying for the under-21 European Championship recede. On Tuesday, Jong Noorwegen and Jong Israël each secured an important victory, seriously complicating the task for Reiziger's team, reports Soccernews. According to Voetbal International, qualification is now hanging by a thread.
A goal in the final seconds
While Jong Oranje hoped for a favourable outcome in their match against Slovenia, disappointment came from that country. Taj Abed, a former PSV player, gave Israel the win in the final seconds of the match, indicates Voetbal International. This goal nullified any hope of a boost for the Dutch.
Competitors winning
Jong Noorwegen and Jong Israël won on Tuesday evening, reducing the Netherlands' chances of qualifying for the under-21 European Championship, explains Voetbalprimeur. According to the same media outlet, Jong Oranje will in any case not qualify directly for the European final tournament, since Norway did not lose. The Dutch under-21s also drew last Friday, which did not improve their situation, reports Soccernews. Qualification for the under-21 European Championship now seems very compromised for the Dutch.
