Euro 2024 qualifiers roundup: Virgil van Dijk keeps Netherlands in hunt

Virgil van Dijk scored a stoppage-time penalty to give the Netherlands a crucial 1-0 win in Greece to keep alive their hopes of Euro 2024 qualification.

Following last week’s defeat in Amsterdam by France, the Group B leaders, who secured their own place at the finals, the Dutch were in need of a positive result in the battle for the runners-up spot.

Evan Ferguson, the Brighton forward, broke the deadlock in the eighth minute, with Celtic’s Mikey Johnston adding another before half-time.
