Netherlands Stumble to Draw, Gyokeres Shines with Four Goals in Sweden’s Dominant Win

The Netherlands settled for a lackluster 1-1 draw against Bosnia & Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League, while Viktor Gyokeres delivered a stunning performance, scoring four goals in Sweden’s 6-0 victory over Azerbaijan. Turkey, meanwhile, suffered a shocking defeat to Montenegro, losing their chance at automatic promotion to League A.
Ronald Koeman’s side, already guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals, failed to impress in their final Group A3 match. Brian Brobbey gave the Oranje an early lead, heading in Noa Lang’s cross in the 24th minute. However, Bosnia’s Ermedin Demirovic equalized in the second half, securing only their second point of the tournament. Despite the uninspiring performance, the Netherlands advanced alongside Germany, who topped the group with 14 points.
### Montenegro Derails Turkey’s Promotion Hopes
Turkey’s hopes of topping Group B4 were dashed by a 3-1 defeat to Montenegro. Nikola Krstovic led Montenegro’s charge with a brilliant hat-trick, capitalizing on defensive errors to dismantle Turkey’s defense. Kenan Yildiz briefly leveled the score, but Krstovic struck twice more, sealing Montenegro’s first win in the campaign and ending their seven-match losing streak.
Meanwhile, Wales capitalized on Turkey’s loss with a commanding 4-1 victory over Iceland, securing their promotion to League A.
### Czech Republic and Ukraine Advance
The Czech Republic earned promotion to League A with a 2-1 victory over Georgia in Group B1. First-half goals from Pavel Sulc and Adam Hlozek set the tone, while Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze managed only to narrow the deficit. Ukraine also clinched a promotion play-off spot after a 2-1 win over Albania, capping off their campaign with a vital victory.
### Gyokeres Stars in Sweden’s Triumph
Sweden ended their Group C1 campaign in spectacular fashion, thrashing Azerbaijan 6-0. Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres was the star of the night, scoring four goals to bring his season tally to an impressive 32 for club and country. Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski added a brace, while Alexander Isak missed a penalty that could have widened the scoreline further.
Sweden’s dominant campaign saw them collect 16 points from 18, their only stumble being a 2-2 draw with Slovakia. Their emphatic finish ensures they head into the next stage with significant momentum.
