Reijnders Snatches Late Draw as Dutch Erase Greek Lead

Greece looked set for a famous win at Toumba Stadium before Netherlands clawed back a 2-2 draw in the UEFA Nations League. The standout moment came late, with the Dutch completing a stirring second-half turnaround after trailing by two at the break. Fotis Ioannidis put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute and added a second in first-half stoppage time, pouncing on a sloppy Dutch backpass before Giorgos Masouras made it 2-0. An earlier Christos Tzolis effort had been ruled out for offside. After the interval, new Dutch boss Xavi Hernandez turned to his bench, and the changes paid off: Virgil van Dijk headed home a Joey Veerman corner in the 59th minute, and Tijjani Reijnders drilled in a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute. Denzel Dumfries twice had late efforts chalked off for offside, while keeper Konstantinos Tzolakis denied Joshua Zirkzee in the closing stages. The point keeps Greece unbeaten and on top of Group A2, though they'll rue surrendering a two-goal cushion at home. For Netherlands, it's a timely reminder of their resilience as they continue searching for their first win under their new coach.
