Reijnders rescues late draw for Netherlands
Tijjani Reijnders scored an 89th-minute equaliser as Netherlands came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Greece.
After stunning Germany last time out, Greece looked set to make it three wins from three in the Nations League after first-half goals from Fotis Ioannidis and Giorgos Masouras, but Virgil van Dijk and Reijnders ensured the points would be shared at Stadio Toumbas.
Greece thought it was ahead inside the opening quarter of an hour when Christos Tzolis picked out the bottom-right corner, but the strike was ruled out as Vangelis Pavlidis obstructed Bart Verbruggen's view from an offside position.
Tzolis was soon forced off with an injury, but his replacement Masouras made an immediate impact in the 23rd minute as his flick-on allowed Ioannidis to run through on goal and curl past Verbruggen.
Ioannidis then returned the favour in first-half stoppage time, regaining possession after intercepting a blind back pass from Ruben van Bommel and squaring for Masouras to tap in from close range, though Greece's decision to sit on its lead after half-time proved costly.
Van Dijk halved the deficit for the visitor with a powerful header from Joey Veerman's floated corner in the 59th minute, while Denzel Dumfries saw a potential equaliser ruled out for offside soon afterwards.
The Real Madrid right-back would again be denied by the offside flag in the 73rd minute, moving beyond the final defender before turning home Van Dijk's knockdown, but there was no stopping Reijnders late on.
Gjivai Zechiel's acrobatic attempt from Noa Lang's cross was blocked by Konstantinos Mavropanos, but Reijnders was able to volley the rebound past Konstantinos Tzolakis from the edge of the six-yard box.
