International media lyrical about Oranje's Euro 2020 win; Watched by 5.5 million in NL

NL Times  

Various international media praised the Dutch men’s football team for securing its first victory at EURO 2020. The British broadcaster described the match as a well-needed distraction from the incident involving Danish football player Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the field on Saturday night during the game against Finland. "Perhaps the exciting 3-2 win of the Netherlands against Ukraine was exactly what the tournament needed: something to celebrate after a harrowing 36 hours for European football'', according to the broadcaster. The British newspaper The Guardian saw the match, and particularly the second half, as one of the highlights of the third day of the European Championship.
