The Netherlands defeated Iceland 4-0 in their final friendly match before Euro 2024, with goals from Xavi Simons, Virgil van Dijk, Donyell Malen, and Wout Weghorst. Although coach Ronald Koeman made 9 changes to the starting lineup to secure a 4-0 victory over Canada the previous week, the result remained unchanged. With their superior strength, the Netherlands completely dominated over Iceland – a team that failed to qualify for this year’s Euros. The home side broke the deadlock in the first half when Joey Veerman and Denzel Dumfries combined well for Simons to finish off the move.

Substitute Mаlen mаde it 3-0 in the 79th minute, аfter being set up by Memphis Depаy. Tоwаrds the end оf the mаtch, Weghоrst seаled the 4-0 victоry by successfully breаking the оffside trаp. This scоreline wаs quite impressive, given thаt Icelаnd hаd just defeаted Englаnd 1-0 аt Wembley the previоus week.

In the earlier portion of the game, Salah displayed remarkable skill to win a vital point for his team.

After Mama Balde’s goal for Guinea in the 42nd minute, Egypt was behind 1-0 when Salah made a fantastic run from the right wing into the box in the 70th minute.

He ducked under a few challenges and cut inside onto his left foot before launching a forceful shot into the upper left corner of the net. It was beyond the goalkeeper’s power to change that.

Salah’s equaliser ensured that Egypt took home a valuable point from the match, keeping their World Cup qualification hopes alive.

His performance once again highlighted why he is considered one of the best wingers in the world.
