The Netherlands beat Greece 7–0 in Amsterdam on Friday, 13 November 2026, moving three points clear at the top of UEFA Nations League A, Group 2. UEFA’s report, published that day, says the result equalled the biggest victory in the competition's history.
Five goals before half-time
According to Real Madrid’s match account, Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring before Tijjani Reijnders struck a first-half hat-trick. Jurriën Timber scored twice, either side of the interval, and Donyell Malen completed the scoring. Five goals arrived before half-time.
Real Madrid’s account of Denzel Dumfries’ appearance provides the detailed sequence: Summerville on six minutes; Reijnders on 12, 19 and 33; Timber on 40 and 59; and Malen on 62. The club reports that Dumfries played all 90 minutes and supplied two assists, heading the ball on for Reijnders' third before later setting up Malen.
Germany and Greece level on eight
UEFA lists the Netherlands on 11 points, with Greece and Germany both on eight after the Germans beat Serbia 3–1. The margin puts the Dutch in the strongest position before the last round, but the group qualification race still has one matchday to run.
The official final-round programme schedules Germany against the Netherlands and Greece against Serbia for Monday, 16 November. The Dutch move from a comprehensive home win over one direct rival to an away meeting with another, while the two quarter-final places remain part of the concluding round's calculations.
