It’s a very dark evening for the U21 national team in Deventer. Rather than shooing the Portuguese out in the fight for a direct ticket to the EM 2023 race in Romania and Georgia, the lead is fading away. And if the Dutch win their remaining three matches, Switzerland can no longer qualify directly on their own!
It turns out early on that, from a Swiss point of view, he doesn’t fit very well in this game. Goalkeeper Amir Saybe raises his hands just before the end of the first half, somehow trying to shake his front men. Those minutes before the break? It’s a Swiss Swimming Festival! The under-21 national team defense can be fooled over and over again, and fortunately they are not left behind sooner.
Tavsan makes the Netherlands rejoice
Mauro Lustrinelli, the national under-21 coach, struggles on the sidelines and he is right to be unhappy. His team does not perform as well as the leader of the Sovereign Group at the Stadion de Adelachhorst. The Dutch, led by Bayern Munich talent Joshua Zirkzee (currently on loan to Anderlecht), put on a solid and fast-paced performance.
Even the Swiss Basel defender Wouterburger plays in the cards. yellow red! Suddenly the game becomes more open again. Burger’s FCB teammate Dan Ndwey only hits the post, and shortly thereafter Holland’s Taylor did the same. Real scene!
Then debutante Elayis Tavsan suddenly explained it all with two lightning-fast goals (76/78) – and really hurt Lustrinelli’s side.
It is the first qualifying bankruptcy for the Swiss. But it could be devastating. (mpe)
