Mexx Meerdink Surpasses His Father in One Evening as Family Watches in Amazement
AZ striker Mexx Meerdink scored twice on his first start for the Netherlands, securing a 2-1 victory over Serbia in Belgrade and surpassing his father Martijn’s international record. The 23-year-old, called up by coach Xavi Hernández following Donyell Malen’s injury, made his debut against Germany before netting both goals in Serbia. His father, former international Martijn Meerdink, expressed pride in his son’s rapid rise and confidence, noting that while they knew of his abilities, the speed of his success was unexpected. Mexx now holds two caps to his father’s one, with upcoming matches scheduled against Greece and Serbia.
