GROUP 4
L’whenwho had a foot and a half in the Final Four, manages and also wins the last match, in the derby against Belgium. van Gaal changes a lot and fielded a battle team, given that a draw or a defeat with less than three goals is enough for the oranje to secure the first place. The first chance is Belgian, with Eden Hazard, but the pace is low and the opportunities are scarce: van Gaal loses Berghuis, Henry replaces the suspended Martinez on the bench of the Red Devils and enjoys a wild Amadou Onana (Everton). The challenge started in the second half: in the 73rd minute van Dijk signed the advantage from a corner action, then Klaassen and Bergwijn slammed into Courtois in the hunt to double. Belgian chance in the final, but Lukebakio hits the crossbar.

Holland wins and hits the Final Four as dominatrix of the group, with 16 points and five wins, while Wales relegated. Bale and his teammates are defeated at home by Poland, in a very high-tension game. The first half of the guests is excellent, with an inspired Zalewski, but the best chance is for the Welsh: Szczesny saves on Daniel James. In the second half Lewandowski lights up: an illuminating ball for Swiderski and a Polish advantage in the 57th minute. The end is all about the hosts: Szczesny saves on Brennan Johnson, Bale hits the crossbar. But there is nothing to be done: Wales lose 1-0 and relegate to League B.
