Dutch tie record Nations League win as Reijnders leads rout of Greece

The Netherlands routed Greece 7-0 on Friday to tie the record for the largest Nations League victory and stay unbeaten under new coach Xavi.

Tijjani Reijnders scored a hat trick and Jurriën Timber had two goals in a rampant win for the Netherlands.

Beaming and holding up three fingers, Reijnders celebrated a hat trick which came off a series of slick team moves to tear apart the Greek defense in Amsterdam.

It was the first time Greece had conceded seven goals in a match since May 1989.

Crysencio Summerville got the Netherlands started with a sixth-minute opener before Reijnders scored three in the space of 21 minutes, Timber added two more and Donyell Malen a seventh.

Germany beat Serbia 3-1 on Friday to remain three points behind Group A2 leader the Netherlands before they play on Monday in Berlin.

The top two in the group advance to the quarterfinals, with head-to-head record as the tiebreaker. The Netherlands, Germany and Greece are all able to qualify. Serbia is last after losing all of its five games.
