FULL-TIME: NETHERLANDS 2-2 POLAND
And breathe! What an incredible second half. It couldn't have been much more different to the first.
Poland went 2-0 up soon after the break through Zielinski, but Klaasen and Dumfries quickly struck back. Depay had a golden chance to win it from the spot in stoppage time, but the Dutch captain's penalty cannoned off the post.
The Netherlands stretch their unbeaten run to 12 games and remain top of Group A4, while Poland climb onto four points.

DEPAY AGAIN!
The Dutch captain almost immediately makes amends, forcing a superb save from Skorupski, who scoops his header out from under the bar. The Netherlands aren't done yet...

DEPAY MISSES!
Incredible! Depay has the chance to be a late hero, but his spot kick hits the outside of the post and the opportunity is gone!

PENALTY TO THE NETHERLANDS!
The referee is called pitchside for a look, and the pictures are quite clear - Cash strikes the ball with his hand as he turns after Skorupski's save and the Netherlands have a last-gasp penalty!
88'
SO CLOSE!
The Netherlands are so close to a late winner. Gakpo races after a ball in behind the Polish defnce and plays a dangerous ball across the six-yard box.
Depay is there and gets a shot away, but it's palmed away by Skorupski and Poland survive! But hang on, they're checking for a potential penalty...

PIATEK SCARES DUTCH
Piatek is clean through on goal after a long ball over the top but his shot flies off target - it wouldn't have counted in any case, as the flag was (correctly) up.
In the meantime, Zielinski has picked up a yellow.

WEGHORST ARRIVES
Van Gaal has pressed the Weghorst button. The big Burnley man comes on for the final 15 minutes or so in the place of Bergwijn - can he be the hero again, as he was against Wales?
73'
POLAND THREATEN
The visitors are looking much livelier in the second half, and get another decent chance.
Krychowiak has space on the edge of the box for a shot, but his right-footed effort flies into the grateful arms of Flekken.
69'
CHANCE!
Depay tees up Blind at the edge of the area, but the wing-back can only bend his shot wide of the far post through a crowded box. A warning sign from the hosts...

PIATEK HAS A GO
That's a first - a Poland chance that doesn't end in a goal! Piatek takes aim on the half-volley from 12 yards, but his effort flies over.
