The Dutch qualified for the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 this Tuesday evening, by beating Romania (0-3). Particularly dominant, they were much more convincing than in their group matches.
This Tuesday evening, the Netherlands faced Romania at the Allianz Arena in Munich. On their first chance of the match, the Dutch opened the scoring. Gakpo ran down the left before cutting back into the middle. In the penalty area, the Liverpool striker struck hard with his right to beat Nita (0-1, 20th).
A few moments later, De Vrij was close to giving the Oranje a break but his header ended up in the small outside netting (27th). Shortly before half-time, Simons found himself very well placed in the penalty area. The man who agreed to come to Bayern Munich did not show himself to be “killer” enough and missed the Romanian target (44th).
The outrageous orange domination
In the second half, Ronald Koeman’s men continued their domination. After a “game of billiards”, Depay was countered by Dragusin (54th). Just before the hour mark, Van Dijk found the outside of the post while Nita was beaten. Gakpo scored a second goal but it was disallowed for offside.
Malen sealed the fate of the match, by taking a cross from Gakpo with his right foot (0-2, 83rd). The Borussia Dortmund player even allowed himself the luxury of scoring a double in stoppage time, with his right foot, at ground level (90th + 3).
On Saturday evening at 9pm, the Netherlands will return to the Olympiastadion in Berlin in the quarter-finals. They will then face the winner of the round of 16 between Turkey and Austria, which is being played this Tuesday evening at 9pm. A match to follow live on our site.
