Netherlands fighting uphill battle

Due to his late entry into the game and the damage the visitors had already done, Van de Ven was not given enough time to make a significant impact on the outcome.

At the 7th and 53rd minute marks, Kylian Mbappe scored. Despite Quilindschy Hartman’s goal in the 83rd minute, France managed to hold on and earn all three points.

With two games remaining, they were able to do this and clinch a spot in the competition for the next summer.

With a game remaining, the Netherlands are now in third place, three points behind second-placed Greece. On Monday night, they play against Greece.

Even though Van de Ven received his first call-up to the senior team in September, he didn’t play in any games.

He had previously been a consistent member of the Netherlands’ Under-21 squad, serving as the team’s captain on multiple occasions.

Van de Ven will return to a Tottenham club that is dominating the Premier League after the international break.

On Monday, October 23, at 8 p.m. at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs will play Fulham in their next game.
