Only needed a point to top Group G and came through a nervy encounter to finish two points clear of second-placed Turkey, who pipped Norway to a play-off spot. Tottenham winger Bergwijn smashed Arnaut Danjuma’s cross into the top corner with six minutes left at De Kuip. The victory was played behind closed doors after a partial lockdown was re-introduced last week due to an increase in cases of Covid-19.
Turkey overtook Norway into second place in Group G, winning 2-1 in Montenegro to enter the European playoffs in March. Ukraine also won away, 2-0 at Bosnia-Herzegovina, to join Turkey as unseeded teams who will be on the road again in the semifinals of the playoffs.
