AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Netherlands coach Frank de Boer’s unwavering belief in his 3-5-2 formation would have been tested had his side not grabbed a late winner in their seesaw 3-2 European Championship Group C victory over Ukraine at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday.

The Dutch looked to be cruising with a 2-0 lead after goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Wout Weghorst, but De Boer’s insistence on maintaining his 'risk and reward' approach almost cost them three points.

When the Netherlands had the ball, Dumfries and left back Patrick van Aanholt advanced so high up the pitch they formed a line of five attacking players. Even after Ukraine scored their first goal to send a flutter through the crowd, De Boer stuck doggedly to the formation he insists his side will use at Euro 2020 rather than looking to close up shop.
