Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo delivered an impressive performance for the Netherlands in their victory over the Republic of Ireland. The match was crucial for both teams in their bid to secure qualification for the European Championships.

Football Oranje, a Dutch outlet, assessed the game and highlighted Gakpo’s contributions. Both the Netherlands and Ireland were aware of the significance of the match as they sought to maintain their qualification hopes.

Gakpo, who has played in various roles for Liverpool this season, returned to the front three during the game. Despite Ireland taking an early lead through a penalty, Gakpo equalized with a spot-kick in the first half, showcasing his versatility.

Football Oranje awarded Gakpo a rating of seven out of 10 for his performance, praising his role in winning and converting the penalty and noting his ability to drive with the ball.

With international duties now behind him, Gakpo will focus on securing his place in the Liverpool side for the upcoming Premier League matches. His performances for the Netherlands against Ireland should boost his confidence and provide manager Jurgen Klopp with more options in the team.

Gakpo’s adaptability and contributions both in midfield and attack make him a valuable asset for Liverpool, and his recent form for the national team could earn him a more prominent role in the club’s lineup.
