NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Germany beat the Netherlands 2-1 in their Group B match in Kharkov, Ukraine, Wednesday to all but ensure qualification for the knockout phase of Euro 2012. Two first-half goals from Mario Gomez, in the 24th and 38th minutes, were enough for the victory, even though the Dutch scored with a 73rd minute goal from Robin van Persie. Germany lead Group B with six points, followed by Portugal and Denmark on three points. The Netherlands, who lost to Denmark in their opening match, are bottom of the group. In the earlier game, Portugal left it late to beat Denmark 3-2.
