The Netherlands beat Greece 7-0 in matchday five of UEFA Nations League Group 2 on Friday, with Tijjani Reijnders scoring a hat-trick. The win puts the Dutch on top of the group on their own.
Reijnders scored all three goals in the first half, and the Netherlands led 5-0 at half-time, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. Greece had been unbeaten in the group before the match, L'Équipe reports.
ESPN says the scoreline ties the record for the largest Nations League win and that the Dutch remain unbeaten under new coach Xavi. Kicker reports that Xavi praised Reijnders's hat-trick and the team's performance, saying the side had only just got going.
Reijnders, 28, plays for Al-Qadsiah and has 8 goals and 3 assists in 10 appearances this season. Golviva's valuation of him is €48m, slightly below his market value of €50m on Transfermarkt. His contract runs until June 2030.
