Romania 0-3 Netherlands: Cody Gakpo stars as Ronald Koeman’s side progress to Euro 2024 quarter-finals – Eurosport

Cody Gakpo scored his third goal of Euro 2024 as the Netherlands beat Romania 3-0 in Munich to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2008.

Gakpo’s first-half strike gave Ronald Koeman’s side a deserved lead before the Liverpool man did wonderfully to set up substitute Donyell Malen to tap home late on and double their lead.

As Romania pressed for a consolation, Borussia Dortmund winger Malen was able to counter and score his second of the game deep into added time with a superb solo run.

It was a thoroughly-deserved victory for the Netherlands who dominated throughout and created several chances despite moments of pressure from Edward Iordanescu’s side.

After an underwhelming group stage, the Dutch will take plenty from this performance ahead of their meeting with either Turkey or Austria in the last eight in Berlin on Saturday.
