Cody Gakpo scores late winner as Netherlands beat Uzbekistan in friendly

Cody Gakpo scored a dramatic 98th-minute penalty to give the Netherlands a 2-1 victory over Uzbekistan in New York on June 8. Gakpo had opened the scoring from the spot earlier in the match, which showcased significant challenges for the Dutch side, including an injury to Jurrien Timber and a red card issued to Guus Til after a VAR review. Despite Uzbekistan equalizing in stoppage time, Gakpo's second goal ensured a return to form for the Oranje after a recent defeat to Algeria. The match serves as preparation for the upcoming World Cup as the Netherlands aims to improve ahead of their first game against Japan this Sunday.
