Two late goals from substitute Donyell Malen helped the Netherlands reach the UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinals for the first time in 16 years, after a comfortable and dominant 3-0 victory over Romania in a Round of 16 match on Tuesday. The Netherlands reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 2008 despite Romania making a brisk start and putting the former European champions under pressure.
Just as they did in their opening victory over Ukraine in Munich, Romania started brightly and almost took an early lead when Dennis Man curled over from the edge of the penalty area. It was Ronald Koeman`s side that struck first, however, Cody Gakpo cut in from the left and arrowed a fierce right-footed shot inside the near post for his third goal of the tournament.
