The UEFA European Championship Qualification match played on 07 September 2023 between the Dutch national team and their Greek counterparts was a compelling demonstration of offensive football prowess by the Netherlands, who claimed a decisive 3-0 victory.

The telling display of sheer skill and teamwork by the home team was evident in the first half, where all three goals were scored. The Netherlands opened the scoring just 16 minutes into the match, taking the lead that they would never relinquish. Two subsequent goals (at 30:53 and 38:06) illustrated the Dutch domination in the first half of the match, paving their route to a comfortable win in their European Championship Qualification campaign.

These goals were not the result of random luck but rather intelligent team play, as seen in the number of corner kicks awarded to the Netherlands throughout the match. The home team were given five corner kicks, whereas the Greek team only managed to take three. Moreover, the Dutch team cleverly exploited the Greeks' defense which resulted in zero offside calls against them, suggesting a well-executed strategic coordination by the team.

The encounter was not without intensity and confrontations, though. A total of 22 fouls were registered by the referee throughout the match, 12 by the Netherlands and 10 by the Greek team. Nevertheless, the Greek team appeared struggle more with discipline, as they received a total of four yellow cards. Two of these cautions were awarded in the first half, at the 10th and 43rd minute. Two more yellow card warnings were issued to the Greek team during the second half. In contrast, despite the higher count of fouls, the Netherlands received only two yellow cards throughout the game.

While the Dutch team can be praised for showing high-quality offensive football, careful discipline can also be seen as a key factor ensuring their dominant performance without being reduced in numbers. It allowed them to control the match effectively without pressing panic buttons that often lead to unnecessary fouls or cards.

In summary, although the Greek side tried to generate opportunities (as indicated by three corner kicks and single offside), they failed to convert any into goals and were unable to inhibit the Netherlands' well-executed attacking display. The combination of the Netherlands' strategic prowess and technical superiority, in addition to Greece's failure to remain disciplined under pressure, shaped the result of this match, making the home side the deserved winners on the night.
