Greece suffered a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of the Netherlands in Amsterdam on the national team’s worst night in its modern history!
It was a nightmarish evening for the “blue-and-whites” at the Johan Cruyff Arena, with the “Oranje” dominating the field from start to finish. Ryders scored a hat trick, Timber scored twice, and Summerville and Malen also found the back of the net.

As a result, Xavi’s team climbed to the top of Group 2 in League A with 11 points, while the Greek national team sits in second place with eight points, the same as Germany.
Ivan Jovanović’s team holds the edge in the tiebreaker against the “Panzers” and is looking for a win at Panthessaliko Stadium against Serbia on Monday (Nov. 16, 9:45 p.m.), but also for Germany not to earn the “three points” against the Netherlands (November 16, 9:45 p.m.) in order to advance to the Nations League quarterfinals. This is because goals count in the event of a three-way tie, and Greece (-5) is clearly in a worse position than the Netherlands (+9) and Germany (+3).
