Greece remains at the top of its Nations League group following a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in Thessaloniki on Thursday. The match saw Greece initially take control, with Fotis Ioannidis scoring in the 23rd minute after a header from Giorgos Masouras. The lead was extended just before halftime when Masouras capitalized on a defensive error by the Netherlands to score from close range.
The Netherlands mounted a comeback in the second half, with Virgil van Dijk narrowing the deficit in the 59th minute, heading in a corner from Joey Veerman. Despite Greece’s goalkeeper Konstantis Tzolakis making a crucial save late in the game, the Netherlands secured an equalizer in the 89th minute through Tijjani Reijnders.
The draw leaves Greece with seven points in the group, two points ahead of the Netherlands. As Greece prepares to host Germany on Sunday, this result keeps the team in a strong position within their Nations League group.
