Title: Netherlands Secures Victory Against Iceland in EURO 2024 Build-Up
City’s Nathan Ake played a key role in the Netherlands’ 4-0 victory over Iceland at Feyenoord’s De Kuip stadium as they wrapped up their EURO 2024 preparations. Ronald Koeman’s team looked strong ahead of the tournament in Germany, with Ake providing an assist and coming close to scoring in the match.
Ake’s header from Joey Veerman’s cross narrowly missed the target in the 16th minute, but Xavi Simons put the Netherlands ahead in the 23rd minute after Denzil Dumfries’ assist. Ake then set up skipper Virgin van Dijk for the second goal early in the second half before being substituted for Micky van de Ven.
Donyell Malen and Wout Weghorst added two more goals to seal the victory for the Dutch team. The win was a perfect way for the Netherlands to conclude their preparations before the start of the tournament. The team’s Group D campaign begins on Sunday, June 16, against Poland, followed by matches against France and Austria.
This victory sets a positive tone for the Netherlands as they head into EURO 2024, aiming to make an impact in the tournament.
