That is all from us here at Tribe for live coverage of the Netherlands against Poland, with Ronald Koeman's side coming from behind to secure a valuable three points. I'm Andrew Smith and thank you as always for joining me. Until next time!
Poland will of course be much more of a threat once their star man Lewandowski returns, which Poland expect him to in their next game. They don't create many chances, but when they do you want someone like Lewandowski on the end of it. As for the Netherlands, they will need to be much more clinical if they are to progress deep into this competition. They passed up far too many chances today and in their next game against France, they simply need to be better.
The Netherlands get the job done and register their first three points in Group D after a hard-fought victory over Poland. The Dutch really should have run away with it in the first half but a surprise opener from Buksa gave them something to think about. Gakpo quickly levelled affairs and after an enthralling first 45, the second promised to be entertaining. It wasn't, and in truth, Koeman's side laboured through the half and only for a bench stacked with quality, the Dutch were able to change the game through their substitutes as Wout Weghorst grabbed the winner late on. Poland will be devastated that they could not hold on for a valuable point, but they did not create enough going forward to trouble the Dutch too much.

Jakub Moder launches a long ball forward but Micky van de Ven heads clear. The Netherlands are untroubled at the moment. Poland look out on their feet.

SHOT! Poland giving it everything in stoppage time as Moder picks up the ball outside the box and takes aim but it's a routine save for Verbruggen who gets behind it. The Netherlands being forced to dig in here.

89'
SHOT! Big stop by Verbruggen as Poland fashion a chance from nowhere. Zalewski drives down the left flank and digs out a cross to the near post looking for Piotrowski. The big man shows great strength and skill to get the shot away from inside the area but Verbruggen drops down to get a hand on the effort before Dumfries eventually hacks clear.
87'
A like-for-like change for the Dutch as Ake- who has been immense at both ends of the pitch- departs for Micky van de Ven.
