Meerdink Helps Oranje Secure Victory with Two Goals in Base Debut
Mexx Meerdink scored both goals to lead the Netherlands to a 2-1 victory over Serbia in Belgrade, marking head coach Xavi Hernández's first win. The result places the Netherlands at the top of A-Division Group 2 with four points from two matches. Despite early challenges on poor pitch conditions and the injury exit of Cody Gakpo, Meerdink converted a penalty before adding a second goal assisted by Guus Til after Dušan Tadić had equalized for Serbia.
