The Netherlands and Liverpool forward made history on Sunday scoring against Poland in Hamburg as he made it 1-1 when his team felt behind in the score against the run of play versus Poland. The Dutch were pressing, trying to equalize before the end of the first half and rightly so they did it. When it happened already half of their starting lineup had registered a final effort and, in the end, Cody Gakpo provided the solution with a deflected shot.
So that was his first goal in EURO and in fact, straight away an unimaginable statistic occurred. Cody Gakpo has now scored in all sorts of competitions with the Netherlands. In EURO, in World Cup, in World Cup qualifiers, in European Championship qualifiers and in Nations League. In everything, except a friendly match!
What we can understand from this amazing issue? That Gakpo doesn’t score in friendlies, but when the tough get going, he is always on fire!
