In a disappointing turn of events at the Euro 2024 tournament, Netherlands star Joey Veerman was visibly emotional after being substituted just 33 minutes into their 3-2 defeat against Austria. The PSV midfielder struggled mightily, losing 55% of his touches and managing a paltry 47% pass accuracy.
“Ronald Koeman’s decision to replace Veerman with Xavi Simons proved to be the right call, as the Netherlands ultimately fell short against a determined Austrian side.”
The match, played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, saw Austria take an early lead through a freak own goal by Donyell Malen. Despite a second-half fightback that saw Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay score for the Dutch, Austria regained the lead and held on for the victory. The result sees Austria top Group D, while the Netherlands finish third, potentially setting up a clash with England in the last 16 on Sunday.
