Play-offs for Euro ticket further out of reach for Jong Oranje after win by Jong Israel
Jong Oranje's chances of reaching the European Championship play-offs diminished significantly as Jong Israel defeated Jong Slovenia 3-2 in extra time. This result leaves Jong Israel second in the group with ten points, while Jong Oranje sits fourth with six points. To qualify, the Dutch team must win their remaining two matches against Jong Slovenia and Jong Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, even with two victories, they rely on Jong Israel dropping points against group leaders Jong Norway to secure second place. The decisive factor in case of a tie is head-to-head results, which currently favor Israel due to their previous wins over the Netherlands.
