It is noteworthy that the two matches were against Wales in the fourth group matches in the first level in the continental championship.
The first match was last week, and it witnessed the "Hitchcockia" scenario. At Cardiff City Stadium in the Welsh capital, the Netherlands advanced with a goal by Tyon Koopmieners (50), but Reiss Norentin Davis scored the equalizer for Wales in the second minute of stoppage time.
