The Netherlands had a great match against Romania in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. They crushed their opponent with a score of 3-0 to win a ticket to the quarterfinals.

After their defeat to Austria, the Netherlands faced uncertainty ahead of their Euro 2024 round of 16 clash with Romania. However, coach Koeman’s team underwent a remarkable transformation, displaying immense strength.

Romania managed to exert pressure on the Netherlands only during the first 10 minutes of the match. They couldn’t maintain that intensity. For the remainder of the game, the Netherlands dominated, turning the Allianz Arena into their own stage.

The “Orange Storm” created a lot of pressure. In this match, the Netherlands launched 23 shots towards Romania’s goal. They had the opening goal in the 19th minute thanks to Cody Gakpo.

For the rest of the match, the Dutch strikers were free to fire at the Romanian goal. However, Dutch strikers such as Xavi Simons, Depay, and Cody Gakpo were quite unlucky in front of the Romanian goal.

With luck, the Netherlands could have created a rain of goals against Romania. However, in the final moments of the match, Donyell Malen shined when he contributed a double to help the Netherlands win 3-0.

With this result, they have qualified for the quarter-finals. The Netherlands’ opponents in the upcoming match will be Austria or Türkiye.
