Amsterdam, June 14 (Ians) Gritty Ukraine bounced back from two goals down but Denzel Dumfries's late winner helped the Netherlands snatch a 3-2 win on home soil in Euro 2020 on Sunday.
The third match-day also saw Austria overpower North Macedonia 3-1 and England down Croatia 1-0.
The Dutch, also known as 'Elftal' assumed control from the starting whistle, and they should have got the opener early in the game but Memphis Depay, Dumfries and Georginio Wijnaldum lacked in accuracy, Xinhua reports.

After the interval, the hosts were eventually able to turn their chances into rewards.

Rome, Feb 7 (Ians) Juventus have moved to the third place on the Serie A table after securing a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Roma in their latest encounter. Cristiano Ronaldo scored one and forced a Roger Ibanez's own goal.
The Bianconeri had won five games on the bounce before Saturday's game and were fresh from a Coppa Italia win over Inter Milan in midweek, reports Xinhua news agency.
Ronaldo, who just turned 36 one day before, marked his birthday with an opening goal in the 12th minute as the talisman collected from Alvaro Morata on the edge of the box before finishing with a left-footed strike.
The home side should have doubled the lead 10 minutes later, but Ronaldo saw his shot bounce off the woodwork.
As Roma was pinning Juventus back, the Old Lady made it 2-0 in the 68th minute when Dejan Kulusevski burst down the right and squared for a well-positioned Ronaldo,...
