The national team of the Netherlands defeated the Romanian national team 3-0 and reached the quarterfinals of Euro 2024. This was reported by UNN.
Details
Both teams overcame the group round with a four-point lead: the Romanians won Group E with Ukraine, while the Netherlands made it through the third-place ranking in Quartet D with Austria and France.
The Romanians created the sharpest moment at the start of the match: Dennis Man scored over the crossbar after a pass. The Netherlands responded with a goal in the 20th minute. Cody Gakpo moved from the left flank and scored 1-0 with a shot into the near corner.
The Orange started the second half more actively. In particular, Virgil van Dijk hit the post after a corner kick.
The second time the ball found its way into the Romanian goal after an hour of play. Gakpo was close to a double, but his second goal was canceled by VAR due to offside.
The Netherlands' advantage was finally doubled by Doniell Malen. This time, Gakpo acted as an assistant: he made his way to the front line with the ball and rolled it back to his partner for a 2-0 lead.
