Germany Cruise to Victory while the Netherlands’ Rescue Point

Germany travels to a comfortable 3-0 victory against Slovenia in their initial game of the European U21 Championship with the kind assistance of Nick Waltimad’s hat trick.

The highly evaluated Stuttgart striker, who made his senior German debut, just earlier this month, and whose stocks continue to rise, found the net twice in the first half before adding a third of the penalty place in the 82nd minute to give their team three points in their opening match.

The 23-year-old built a hat trick in the last trip of Germany U21 against Spain, and he maintained his deadly shape in front of the door here, as Group B rivals from England leaked convincing winners.

It was the biggest margin of victory in the tournament so far and established Germany as serious contenders to take the crown of three lions.

Elsewhere, Group D started in an exciting way, with Ernest purchases saving a point for the Netherlands deep in the time to stop the second half in their clash with Finland.

Casper Terho and Topy Ceskinen gave Finland with two goals, who entered the break before Oranje organized a valiant return after the restart.

Luciano Valente reduced the time sign deficit and the purchase ended the Renaissance by finding the network in the 93rd minute to ensure that both sides took a share of the loot.

In the meantime, Denmark made her campaign to a 3-2 winning start over Ukraine.

Nazar Voloshin opened the score in 22 minutes, but the game really came to life after an hour when Clement Bisoff equalized to the Scandinavians.

Maxim Brahru renewed Ukraine’s lead by 12 minutes, but goals from William Boving and William Ozula turned the draw on their heads to give the Danes important three points.
