Timber scores first Netherlands goals in 7-0 win

The Netherlands produced a stunning attacking display in Amsterdam to match the biggest win in Nations League history by routing Greece 7-0, according to UEFA.com. Reuters reported that Tijjani Reijnders fired a hat-trick for the Dutch. UEFA.com detailed that the hosts dominated throughout, with Crysencio Summerville opening the scoring inside six minutes before Reijnders struck his first-half treble. Jurriën Timber added a brace, scoring either side of half-time, and Donyell Malen also found the net. Arsenal.com noted that the goals marked Jurriën Timber's first ever for the Netherlands.

With this emphatic performance, the Netherlands opened up a three-point lead at the top of Group A2, moving to eleven points. Greece remained on eight points following the defeat. UEFA.com reported that Greece and the Netherlands will now compete with Germany for qualification in the final round of matches after Jürgen Klopp's men saw off Serbia 3-1. Germany struck twice in the opening 14 minutes against Serbia, beginning when Srđan Babić could only deflect Kai Havertz's third-minute header into his own net. Florian Wirtz bundled in Germany's second before debutant Brajan Gruda scored a fine solo goal after the break. Babić scored a lone reply for Serbia, and the hosts had Vanja Dragojević and Andrija Živković sent off late on as Germany moved level with second-placed Greece on eight points, while Serbia remained without a point.

In Group A1, Italy mounted a stunning comeback in Milan to end Zinédine Zidane's unbeaten start as France coach with a 3-1 victory. Michael Olise gave France an early lead with a crisp finish before Pio Esposito equalized with a clever touch. Davide Frattesi swept Italy in front after Sebastiano Esposito powered a penalty wide, and Pio Esposito later drilled in his second from the spot. The win ensured Italy claimed a first home win in this fixture since May 1962, moving level with France at the summit on ten points. Belgium completed the double over point-less Türkiye with a 2-1 comeback victory in Izmir during Sergen Yalçın's first game at the helm. Arda Güler opened the scoring for Türkiye with a 20th-minute free-kick before Kevin De Bruyne rattled in an equalizer from Jeremy Doku's cross, and Charles De Ketelaere converted Maxim De Cuyper's cut-back.

In Group A3, Harry Kane surpassed Peter Shilton as England's all-time men's appearance leader and scored the winning goal from a penalty at Wembley Stadium against Croatia to seal England's place in the last eight. Morgan Rogers had given the Three Lions a first-half lead from Jude Bellingham's pass before Petar Sučić hooked Croatia level in the second half. Kane marked his 126th cap with the decisive goal, surviving a late scare when Nikola Vlašić shot narrowly wide and Ante Budimir was denied by Jarell Quansah's vital block.
