    Netherlands 0-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine are teasing.

    They move it around the box before it comes to Andriy Yarmolenko. He fakes to shoot, cuts onto his right foot, deceives Daley Blind and blasts it towards goal.

    It's straight at the keeper.

    Another huge chance!

    It's flicked back to Roman Yaremchuk and he's about to shoot before Patrick van Aanholt comes sliding in with a last-ditch tackle.

    How is this 0-0!?

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 27 mins

    Netherlands 0-0 Ukraine

    AHH, what a chance!

    Wout Weghorst is slipped through in the box and he should score! He goes around the keeper but Georgi Bushchan recovers to make a brilliant save.

    Imagine looking forward for months to representing your country at the European Championship - and you're forced to limp off inside the opening 15 minutes of the first match.

    That's what's happened to Ukraine's Oleksandr Zubkov who touched the ball just six times and completed four passes before he went off head bowed.

    Cruel.

    Instead it's the referee who gets a touch in midfield. He has to halt play as the Netherlands were building a nice attack.

    The fans give him a sarcastic boo.

    Denzel Dumfries puts in a teasing cross from the right but there's nobody gambling on it!

    That was begging for a touch...

    Netherlands 0-0 Ukraine

    Martin de Roon almost intercepts the ball in the middle as Ukraine move it around for a few minutes.

    He eventually wins it on the edge of his box and Georginio Wijnaldum holds off four players to win a free-kick. The ball is like glue to his foot!

  11. CLOSE!published at 23 mins

    Netherlands 0-0 Ukraine

    The front three of Ukraine link-up smartly as they break with pace. It comes over to Andriy Yarmolenko, who tees up the cross.

    It's cut-back to the edge but the chance is lost and the Netherlands break.

    Memphis Depay pokes it through to Patrick van Aanholt in the box and he's INCHES from touching it in. Oooft!

    Rachel Ellis: Gini Wijnaldum obviously keen to show Liverpool what they've let go and PSG what they are getting.

    Willem Mevius: The Dutch play 5-3-2 (or 3-5-2) to compensate for their missing stars in central defence. However, for that tactic to work you really need a ball playing central defender who can distribute the game from the back.

    Ukraine work it out from the back really well, switching it from left to right before losing the ball on the edge of the Netherlands' box.

    The hosts slow it down in the middle.

    It's been extremely exciting so far. I think the Netherlands will be disappointed they are not one or two goals up already.

    Vitalii Mykolenko does really well to step past Denzel Dumfries on the left for Ukraine but his cross comes flying in with way too much pace.

    Roman Yaremchuk can't get his head on it.

    Roman Yaremchuk cuts inside off the right but he scuffs his shot from the edge of the box.

    The Netherlands' defence gave him far too much room.

    A really enjoyable opening to this game.

    I'm loving Georginio Wijnaldum so far. He has played a more reserved role for Liverpool but he is making unmarked runs and looks a real goal threat so far.

    The Netherlands are the first team to have as many as seven shots in the opening 10 minutes of a European Championship game since 1980 (previous most was five).

    Terry K: This match is wide and open and incredibly fun to watch. Hope it stays this way.

    Christopher David: I'd be surprised if there's a better first 5 minutes of any other game this tournament! What a start!
