EURO 2012 LIVE: Netherlands 1 Germany 2 Netherlands play Germany in Kharkiv, Ukraine in their second Group B match at the European Championship. Earlier, Portugal beat Denmark 3-2. Here is a running account of Wednesday's action. 2243: We've had two great games today, continuing the trend of a fantastic tournament so far. Tomorrow will see Italy take on Croatia at the Municipal Stadium in Poznan before defending champion Spain play Ireland in Gdansk at the PGE Arena. 2240: Germany win thanks to two brilliantly taken goals by Mario Gomez. The Dutch did improve in the second half and Robin van Persie pulled one back for his side with a well taken goal, but ultimately it was not enough. The Germans were more clinical and efficient with possession and nullified the threat the Netherlands were beginning to pose. Qualification is not assured yet for the Germans - but only a heavy defeat against Denmark would see them fail to progress. The Netherlands cling onto hope of making the knock out stages but have it all to do against Portugal on Sunday.

That is Boateng's second yellow card in as many games and he will be suspended for the match against Denmark. 2223: Arjen Robben has been taken off and Dirk Kuyt replaces him for the Netherlands. 2221: Toni Kroos replaces Mesut Oezil for Germany. 2220: Robin Van Persie now takes a tumble in the area after receiving the ball from Sneijder. The Dutch players were up in arms, absolutely certain it was a penalty, but Eriksson said no. Correct call. 2219: Every team has now scored and conceded in the tournament after that Robin Van Persie goal. 2218: Mario Gomez was replaced by Miroslav Klose for Germany moments before Van Persie scored. 2210: The Dutch are back in this and finally Robin Van Persie gets a goal at Euro 2012. He runs in from the left, he has the ball on his weaker right foot outside the penalty area but he takes on the shot - and blasts it low into the far corner of the net. Great finish, and there are 15 minutes left to play. The game has opened up here - do not rule the Dutch out of this just yet. PhillipsIan: Finally Robin van Persie scores -- Holland's first goal at Euro 2012. Can Dutch somehow get back in this? 20 mins left. (via Twitter) 2202: That's more like it from van Persie and he brings a great save from Manuel Neuer. Robben dances down the left wing and pulls the ball back to van Persie who connects to send a fierce low drive at goal from his lethal left foot. Neuer gets down well to palm it away, but that is an encouraging move from the Dutch.
