2012 Euro Cup Group B: Germany 2-1 Netherlands
Thursday, June 14, 2012 Report by Rajarshi Ghosh
The Netherlands' hopes of advancing to the Euro 2012 quarter-finals are hanging by a thread after a 2-1 loss to Germany.
A labouring Dutch outfit fell two goals behind by half-time thanks to a pair of lethal finishes from Mario Gomez, who took his tournament tally up to three, with both goals set up by Bayern Munich team-mate Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Bert Van Marwijk's men were able to improve after the break though, and pulled one back through a breathtaking strike from Robin van Persie on 73 minutes.
But despite a late surge from the Oranje, Joachim Loew's side were able to hang on and take their place at the top of Group B with six points, leaving them on the verge of qualification for the last eight.
