GOAL: Van dijk scores from the spot to give the netherlands the lead

Liverpool’s captain, Virgil van Dijk, delivered a resounding response to his numerous critics in the Netherlands by netting a crucial last-minute game-winner for his national team.

The Dutch national squad, known as the Oranje, faced off against Greece in a pivotal Euro 2024 qualification match. They desperately needed a victory to close the gap on their rivals and secure the second qualification slot in Group B. The match remained tied at 0-0 as they entered stoppage time.

After Wout Weghorst missed a penalty during the first half, the Dutch received another penalty opportunity, and their captain stepped up in the 93rd minute to take it.

Exuding remarkable composure and nerves of steel, Van Dijk paid no heed to the laser pointer directed at his eyes. He unleashed a powerful strike that sailed past Odysseas Vlachodimos, securing a game-changing triumph for his nation. This victory has put them on the brink of qualification for the upcoming summer finals.
