The Netherlands scored after just 100 seconds at Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday night, but have to settle with a 2-2 draw against Germany in an entertaining Nations League clash.That early Tijjani Reijenders’ opener was denied before the break as Deniz Undav scored on his first start for Die Mannschaft. Captain Joshua Kimmich netted the second for a 2-1 halftime lead, but Denzel Dumfries managed to head it home for 2-2.Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch definitely deserves the Man of the Match reward, as he was superb for his national side. Not only did he assist Reijenders for that opener, but he also had some more sensational passes and won countless duels to show he’s in perfect form at the moment.50 – Germany conceded their fastest goal (Reijnders after 1:39 min) since 50 years, when Johan Neeskens scored also for the Netherlands against Germany at the World Cup 1974 after 1:26 min.
