The Dutch team controlled the game from the start, leading in shots 14-4 and holding 67.1% possession compared to Poland’s 32.9%, demonstrating a significant advantage.
This dominance paid off when, after an unexpected early goal conceded, Gakpo equalized with a long-range effort. In just the first half, Gakpo’s individual tally of five shots surpassed the entire Poland team’s efforts. Remarkably, his five shots in the first half set a new record for the most shots by a player in a single match in this cup.
