A positive draw decided the Netherlands and Germany match in the European Nations League, while England captain Harry Kane celebrated his 100th international match by scoring a brace against Finland.

Germany forced a draw against the host Netherlands in the European Nations League.

The second round summit between the Netherlands and its guest Germany ended in a 2-2 draw on Tuesday in the second stage of Group 3 matches in the first level.

The Netherlands' first goal came early thanks to Rijnders (1 minute and 39 seconds), which is the fastest goal Germany has conceded in all competitions since the 1974 World Cup final against the Netherlands itself.

Undiv equalized the score (38), scoring his first goal with the German national team in all competitions.

Kane holds the record for England's international goalscoring record after scoring 68 goals, including 22 from the penalty spot, in 100 appearances.

Kane became the tenth player in England's history to surpass the 100-match mark.

The absolute record is held by former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton with 125 caps.

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who was the first foreign manager to coach the Three Lions, was also honoured after his death last month at the age of 76.
