Dutch Fans Celebrate Draw with France
Thousands of Orange-Clad Fans Fill Hamburg's Streets
Hamburg, Germany - The Netherlands are on the verge of qualifying for the knockout rounds of the European Championships after a 0-0 draw against France. The result leaves the Dutch in second place in Group A, with four points from two matches.
The match itself was a cagey affair, with few chances for either side. The Netherlands had the better of the possession but failed to create any clear-cut opportunities. France, meanwhile, looked dangerous on the counter-attack but were unable to find a way past the Dutch defense.
The draw means that the Netherlands need only to avoid defeat against Romania in their final group match on Tuesday to qualify for the knockout rounds. A win would see them finish top of Group A.
After the match, thousands of orange-clad Dutch fans took to the streets of Hamburg to celebrate. Videos of the fans jumping, cheering, and marching through the streets have gone viral on social media.
