After an underwhelming stint at Manchester United, few expected forward Wout Weghorst to have an impact in the 2024 European Championship. However, he stepped up in the Netherlands’ opening match.
Tied 1-1 against Poland, Dutch manager Ronald Koeman took a risk, replacing forward Memphis Depay with Weghorst in the 81st minute. Two minutes later, the 31-year-old forward netted a goal, giving the Netherlands a 2-1 lead.
