UEFA Nations League 2022/23: Netherlands & Poland draw in a FOUR-GOAL thriller as Memphis Depay misses penalty, Watch Netherlands vs Poland HIGHLIGHTS

Poland took the lead when Cash picked up the ball on the right and drilled his first international goal into the bottom-left corner with a fine finish.

Netherlands responded well but were two behind when Zielinski was teed up for a simple finish by Przemyslaw Frankowski following an excellent ball in behind by Krzysztof Piatek – though VAR was required to overturn an offside decision in the build-up.

Klaassen quickly reduced the arrears when he volleyed Daley Blind’s cross home and Louis van Gaal’s men were soon level as Dumfries’ deflected effort was permitted by VAR after the offside flag initially went up.

Cash handled the ball after Lukasz Skorupski kept Depay at bay and referee Halil Umut Meler pointed to the spot having reviewed footage of the incident.

Depay was unable to take advantage of the opportunity and he also had a header tipped over by Skorupski as Netherlands ended up missing out on the win.

What does it mean? A missed opportunity 

Depay’s missed penalty ended up costing the Netherlands a chance to take a significant step towards the Nations League finals.

With Belgium held to a 1-1 draw by Wales, Van Gaal’s men would have been five points clear at the top of Group A4 had Depay converted his spot-kick. Instead, their run of five straight wins against Poland came to and.

What’s next? 

Netherlands host Wales at De Kuip on Tuesday, while Poland have a meeting with Belgium in Warsaw to come.
