Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville has already reached a pivotal point in the U21 European Championships. Summerville started the Netherlands’ first group game of the competition and he'll hope to be involved once more tonight as Erwin van de Looi’s side take on Portugal in Tbilisi.
The Dutch drew their opening fixture with Belgium 0-0 and they know failure to beat Portugal could leave them in a precarious position when it comes to their hopes of qualifying through Group A. Only two teams will progress to the knock out stages and Georgia currently top the group having claimed a 2-0 win over the Portuguese.
The Netherlands can’t be eliminated this evening, but a loss could potentially see them fall three points behind the pace with one game left to play in the group. Summerville, then, will be keen to play a key role this evening and help Jong Oranje bolster their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals with a win.
