  "account": "In a dominant display, the Netherlands thrashed Greece 7-0 in their UEFA Nations League match in Amsterdam on Friday, moving closer to a quarter-final spot. Tijjani Reijnders was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick to help secure the win. In the first half, he netted two goals, while former Manchester City midfielder Reijnders added another from close range in the 33rd minute. Jurrien Timber turned in a cross from Donyell Malen before halftime, making it 5-0, and Timber added his second goal of the night on the hour mark. Donyell Malen completed the rout with a crisp first-time finish. Greece, who entered the match unbeaten in Group A2, bore little resemblance to the team that nearly beat the Netherlands last month. Reijnders' hat-trick was crucial in a rout that left Greece with no chance of catching the Dutch. The Dutch lead Group A2 with 11 points, three clear of Greece and Germany, going into the final round of group matches. Germany will host the Netherlands in Berlin on Monday, while Greece face Serbia, who have yet to score in five games after losing 3-1 to Germany in Belgrade.",
