🇱🇹 Lithuania – Battling but Outclassed
Lithuania entered the contest determined to make life difficult for their illustrious visitors, but once the first goal went in, their defensive shape was undone. The home side worked hard, yet they offered little threat going forward and were forced into damage limitation for much of the match.
Key Players:
-
Edgaras Utkus – Tried to anchor the defence but was pulled out of position repeatedly.
-
Fedor Černych – Looked lively in the few counter-attacks Lithuania attempted.
-
Emilijus Zubas – The goalkeeper made several key saves, keeping the scoreline from being heavier.
Tactics: Lithuania set up in a compact 5-4-1, but their lines dropped too deep, allowing the Dutch to dictate play and swarm the penalty area.
🇳🇱 Netherlands – Ruthless in Attack
The Netherlands showcased their attacking depth and composure, turning possession into goals with efficiency. Their star names stepped up, and once they broke the deadlock, the match became a demonstration of control and finishing quality.
Key Players:
-
Memphis Depay – Scored the opener and was a constant attacking threat.
-
Cody Gakpo – Found the net with a curling effort and stretched Lithuania’s defence.
-
Frenkie de Jong – Controlled midfield with his vision and passing range.
-
Virgil van Dijk – Commanding at the back, ensuring a clean sheet.
Tactics: A fluid 4-3-3 allowed the Dutch to overload the wings, with overlapping full-backs and quick interchanges breaking down Lithuania’s defensive structure.
