Netherlands fight back from 2-0 down to draw with Greece

The Netherlands came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Greece in the UEFA Nations League.

Greece took the lead in the 23rd minute through Fotis Ioannidis, who finished calmly after receiving the ball from Giorgos Masouras.

The hosts doubled their advantage in first-half stoppage time. Ioannidis turned provider this time, finding Masouras, who made no mistake from close range.

Netherlands head coach Xavi Hernández made three changes at half-time in an attempt to turn the game around. The visitors immediately looked much more dangerous after the break.

Virgil van Dijk pulled one back in the 59th minute with a header from a corner. The Netherlands continued to dominate possession and created several chances, but two goals from Denzel Dumfries were ruled out for offside.

The pressure finally paid off in the 89th minute when Tijjani Reijnders reacted quickest inside the box to level the score at 2-2.

The Netherlands remain unbeaten under Xavi Hernández and now have five points from their opening three matches. Greece are top of the group with seven points.
