Weghorst grabs late winner as the Netherlands beat Poland in Euro 2024 openerPA Sport StaffSubstitute Wout Weghorst struck late on to earn the Netherlands a 2-1 win over Poland in their Group D opener at Euro 2024. Adam Buksa headed Poland into an early lead at Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion, but Cody Gakpo ensured it was level at half-time. The Netherlands pushed for a late winner, and it arrived when Burnley forward Weghorst fired home in the 83rd minute. Poland were without captain and talisman Robert Lewandowski due to a thigh injury but still took the lead in the 16th minute. There was a quick response from Ronald Koeman’s men, though, with Liverpool forward Gakpo able to level after 29 minutes.
