Match overview
Netherlands opened their European Championship campaign with a narrow victory over debutants Greece in Naples. The Dutch struggled against determined Greek resistance, with Thomas Mavros causing problems throughout. Kees Kist’s second-half penalty proved decisive after Dick Nanninga was fouled in the penalty area.
Trivia
This marked Greece’s debut in a major international tournament. Piet Schrijvers was forced off early after a collision with Thomas Mavros, requiring Pim Doesburg to make his European Championship debut as a substitute goalkeeper.
