Weghorst came on with the scores tied at 1-1, with his nation struggling to break down a stubborn Polish defence.
But the giant striker needed just two minutes to hit the target with a clever finish.
And it sparked wild celebrations among the Dutch fans in the stands.
Weghorst toasted his goal alongside teammates with a roar.
However, what he did next blew viewers away.
As supporters continued to party in the stands, Weghorst faced the crowd before holding his arms out in the air.
The amazing moment was caught on camera.
And it certainly provided an ‘aura’ moment early on in the tournament.

Fans could not get enough of Weghorst’s brilliant behaviour either.
One said: “We love this passion.”
Another declared: “Most efficient clutch footballer ever.”
One noted: “He’s HIM.”
Another added: “Soaking up the love.”
Weghorst remains contracted to Burnley, despite not playing for the relegated side since 2022.
In that time, he’s enjoyed loans at Besiktas and Manchester United, scoring 11 goals in total.
And last term Weghorst was on loan with German outfit Hoffenheim, where he bagged seven goals in 30 matches.
But the hitman has been in sharp form for Holland in recent times.
He now has four goals in five games this year, taking his tally to seven over the past 18 months.
And with Holland hoping to reach the knockout stages of the Euros, there could be more strikes to come.
Speaking after his latest goal, Weghorst said: “I told my girlfriend this morning that i was going to do this.
“I said to her ‘I’m going to come on and score at 0-0 or 1-1, just before the end of the match.
“And if you don’t believe me, I can show you the message app on my phone.”
He added: “I am so happy, it’s indescribable, a bit of a dream.
“I know my role here and you have to fulfil that as best you can.
“To play in a final tournament is so special and winning like that was so good for all of us. Now we have to make sure it’s just the start.”
