The Netherlands edge ahead of Greece in Group B for the final spot at Euro 2024 on Monday. But they also choked at a crucial moment.

The two sides went head-to-head on Monday, and after being denied one penalty for a handball, a foul on Virgil van Dijk handed the Dutch a lifeline.

However, Wout Weghorst sent his strike virtually right down the middle and the left hand of Odysseas Vlachodimos comfortably saved it.

Manager Ronald Koeman looked extremely unimpressed and the Dutch had to wipe that one off.

The miss did not come back to haunt them as Van Dijk later stepped up from the spot to score a stoppage-time winner.
