AMSTERDAM (June 14): The Netherlands can be proud of their victory over Ukraine but need to learn from defensive mistakes, coach Frank de Boer said after his side's thrilling 3-2 win in their Euro 2020 opener on Sunday. "We can be proud of our performance," De Boer told reporters. "We need to get smarter in these situations," De Boer said of lapses of concentration which led to the two Ukraine goals. "You know the other team will get chances, but you need to make sure it doesn't happen through your mistakes." De Boer said he was confident his team would improve heading into the next Group C match against Austria on Thursday.
