Haolland should be in front - at least - but Poland are a live dog demanding respect.

Pinging a cross-kick towards Simons, right side of the box. But he slips into his shot, sending a shot skipping agonisingly wide.

And three bookings, but only one added minute.

On the one hand, that's a good sign, but on the other, the game often punishes wastrels who you spurn its largesse.

Schouten out to Simons, who slides down the line for the onrushing Ake, and his cut-back finds Gakpo in the middle! But from six yards, he pokes at it right-footed when he might sweep it left-footed, and the ball balloons over the bar! That is not good behaviour.

Thewy're still playing the same aggressive game as before, looking to defend in numbers then spring and send players forward.

Is decent proof that international football is easier than the top echelons of the club game. After three World-Cup goals, he now has one here, whereas he's found it harder going in the Premier League.

Netherlands badly needed that fluke-goal because they didn't especially look like they were going to create one; that said, it wasn't that much of a fluke, given the grief Gakpo has been causing, Poland's inability to get close to him, and the fact that he had a clear sight of goal from the edge.

But actually, Buksa is finding it in between them, but excuse me while I interrupt myself; the ball breaks to Kiwior inside the box, who shoots low and hard; Verbruggen shoves away at his far post.

They needed to hold their lead for longer than that, though still look a threat going forward so you never know.

GOAL!! POLAND 1-1 NETHERLANDS (GAKPO) A fluke, but you can't say Netherlands haven't earned it! They force a hopeful clearance from Bednarek, boxed in at right-back and Ake, marauding forward, takes into stride beautifully. Whereupon Gakpo takes over, lashing a low shot as Salomon extends a leg, taking the ball right as Szczesny dives left, powerless to prevent the equaliser.

Who isn't at all able to keep up. And his cross isn't a bad one, Dumfries heading back, but at the back post, just a few yards out, Bednarek does superbly to block Reijnders' effort to force a header home.

And take it short, Veerman's eventual cross quickly hacked clear. This is a pretty decent game, Poland offering conviction in both defence and attack.

Van Dijk wins a big header on halfway, Reijnders helps it on, and when Simons takes a touch inside, the ball escapes him and the tracking defenders, falling beautifully for Depay ... who cheerfully leathers it over the bar as if on purpose! That was a big chance.

Veerman's outswinger finds Van Dijk 12 yards out and he does really well to get a good portion of sidefoot on his volley, Szczesny shoving clear emphatically.

But having played for George Graham's Arsenal, he'll know as well as anyone how hard that near-post corner is to defend. Anyroad up, Netherlands force a corner...

If you're going to mark zonally, you've got to be more proactive than Netherlands were, but nevertheless, a quality ball and quality connection are almost impossible to defend against.
