Netherlands Cruise Past Romania 3-0 in Euro 2024 Last-16, Set Quarterfinal Clash

Posted : 02 July 2024

The Netherlands' Cody Gakpo netted his third goal of the European Championship, supported by Donyell Malen's late brace, as they bounced back with a dominant 3-0 victory over Romania in the last-16 clash on Tuesday. Criticized for defensive lapses in their previous match against Austria, which ended in a 3-2 defeat, the Dutch displayed improved composure and control, securing their first Euro quarterfinal appearance since 2008.

 

Gakpo opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a precise low shot that beat goalkeeper Florin Nita at his near post. Malen later sealed the win with two goals, strengthening the Netherlands' position for a quarterfinal showdown against either Austria or Turkey, to be held in Berlin on Saturday.

 

Throughout the match, the Dutch asserted their dominance with two-thirds of possession and nearly five times as many scoring opportunities. Virgil van Dijk came close to extending the lead with a header that struck the post, while Gakpo had another goal disallowed for offside, underscoring their superiority on the pitch.
