    GOAL - Netherlands 2-1 Ukrainepublished at 21:31 British Summer Time 13 June 2021

    Andriy Yarmolenko

    WOW!

    That is an absolute screamer. A worldie. No stopping that. Goal of the tournament so far, easily.

    It comes to Andriy Yarmolenko outside the area, he steps a yard to his left then curls it with some serious pace into the top left corner.

    Unbelievable goal! Game on!

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    Memphis Depay tries to skip in-field but Serhiy Sydorchuk robs it off him.

    Sydorchuk then links up with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ukraine patiently build an attack.

    That was Ukraine's first shot since the 30th minute.

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    It's brilliant from Ukraine to play it out from the back - a flick here and there and a few one-touch passes.

    Roman Yaremchuk can't hold it up though and the Netherlands head straight up the other end.

    It comes to Yaremchuk a few moments later and this time he strikes it well but it's smack down the middle. Comfortable save.

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine just can't get the ball down at the moment. The Netherlands are so comfortable.

    Frenkie de Jong is caught by Serhiy Sydorchuk on the touchline. The Dutchman goes down, notices he's half off the pitch and quickly flicks his leg back on.

    Cheeky.

    Phil: De Jong has been immense, absolutely running the show.

    Marc Quinn: I love the how two of the greatest ever European strikers (Ruud and Andriy) are on the pitchside, and its just so casual.

    They [the Dutch fans] will be feeling content, entertained, relieved.

    Ukraine seem to have lost a bit of structure in defence. The Netherlands' pressing has been so impressive.

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    Wout Weghorst is an absolute giant. The only way to stop him winning the header, as demonstrated by Mykola Matvyenko, is to pull him back by his shirt.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 65 mins

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    A few changes.

    Patrick van Aanholt and Daley Blind are off. Nathan Ake and Owen Wijndal are on for the Dutch.

    Marlos, who came on a substitute for Ukraine in the first half, is off too. Mykola Shaparenko comes on.

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    Matt L: That PSG player Wijnaldum looks great for the Dutch. Would love to see him at Liverpool.

    Hard work pays off. With strikers, sometimes they're not willing to put the work in.

    Wout Weghorst has got his reward. It's a lovely finish.

    Frenkie de Jong is fouled as it rolls into the box with Oleksandr Karavaev giving chase.

    Maarten Stekelenburg rushes out to gather it in but the whistle has gone.

    They will be so relieved to get that second goal.

  18. VAR check...published at 21:16 British Summer Time 13 June 2021

    Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine

    They are checking whether Denzel Dumfries fouled in the build-up. Or was he offside?

    VAR will double-check.

    Wout Weghorst

    Denzel Dumfries puts pressure on Vitalii Mykolenko and somehow helps bundle the ball into Wout Weghorst's path.

    He doesn't even take a touch. He just smashes in the Netherlands' second.

    The gaps are opening up now. This Netherlands team is so good to watch. They have players on the same page as each other.

    Georginio Wijnaldum has been superb. He has that freedom, along with Marten de Roon.
