Poland went 1-0 up early after Adam Buska’s headed effort matched Robert Lewandowski’s Euro 2012 feat, but Ronald Koeman’s troops scored twice to seal a comeback triumph at Volksparkstadion.
Gakpo levelled on the half-hour mark, with his 20-yard shot wrong-footing Wojciech Szczesny after coming off Bartosz Salamon.
Wout Weghorst completed the turnaround for the Oranje with seven minutes remaining to send the Dutch top of Group D before France face Austria on Monday.
The Liverpool man’s goal was his 10th for the Netherlands, taking him level with Ryan Babel, Mark van Bommel and Philip Cocu and the 25-year-old has netted the Oranje’s first at the 2022 World Cup and their first at Euro 2024.

Holland next play France on July 21 and Austria four days later.
