Jong Oranje failed to close the gap in their European Championship qualifying group, drawing with Norway on Friday, according to De Telegraaf. The result extends a very disappointing campaign, the newspaper reports.

AD describes the draw as fully in line with the team's dramatic qualifying series. Gjivai Zechiël started in midfield, as reported by AD and Voetbalnieuws, after being selected for the senior squad but dropping down to Jong Oranje.

The match was seen as crucial for Jong Oranje, according to AD and NU.nl.
