The Netherlands and Turkey face off in the final Euro 2024 quarter-final on Saturday night.
The Dutch cruised past Romania on Tuesday, shaking off a slow start to win 3-0 in Munich and secure a spot in the last eight. This victory was a strong comeback for Ronald Koeman’s squad, who had been stunned by Austria last week after a goalless draw with France and a narrow win over Poland. They managed to advance as one of the four best third-place finishers.
Donyell Malen shined off the bench against the Group E winners at Allianz Arena, scoring twice. Cody Gakpo, in great form, also added to his goal tally for the tournament and provided a brilliant assist, helping the Netherlands return to their winning ways.
Both teams now face a quick turnaround, with Turkey reaching the quarter-finals of a major international tournament for the first time since 2008. Vincenzo Montella’s side finished as runners-up in Group F, securing dramatic victories over the Czech Republic and Georgia, despite a tough loss to Portugal. Merih Demiral’s brace and a last-gasp wonder save from goalkeeper Mert Gunok saw them edge out Group D winners Austria in the final last-16 match in Leipzig.
The winner of this clash will face the victor of England's match against Switzerland in the semi-finals, in what is considered the ‘easier’ half of the Euro 2024 draw.
