BREAKING:Gakpo On Target And Malen With double As Netherlands Beat Romania To Advance To Euro 2024 Quarter Finals—-Netherlands are through to the quarter-finals at this summer’s European Championship after beating Romania 3-0 in Munich.
Romania started the game on the front foot but Ronald Koeman’s side grew into the game and deservedly took the lead after 20 minutes via Cody Gakpo’s third goal of Euro 2024.
The Dutch dominated the remainder of the half — particularly on the right flank — but Edward Iordanescu’s side, as they have throughout the tournament, retained a threat on the break.
Gakpo then assisted a second goal for the Netherlands in the closing stages, working the ball expertly along the goalline and slipping it across for Donyell Malen, before Malen added a third in injury time to seal an impressive win.
Jacob Whitehead, James McNicholas, Liam Tharme and Seb Stafford-Bloor analyse the key talking points from the game.
