📸 Cody Gakpo hits two Dutch milestones in warm up clash with Uzbekistan 👏 | OneFootball

After a shock loss to Algeria ended their 10-game unbeaten run and the sad news of Jurrien Timber being ruled out of the World Cup, the Netherlands needed an uplift today. 

Thanks to Cody Gakpo, they are in the lead against Uzbekistan in New York. 

The Liverpool forward made no mistake from 12 yards out just after the half-hour mark, shortly after Donyell Malen had a missed a sitter from close range. 

It was a big goal on a big night for Gakpo, who now has 20 goals and 50 caps for his country. 

Ronald Koeman will be hoping the 27-year-old - who scored three goals in the 2022 tournament - is about to hit form once again at the right time.
