2024 European Championship
0-3
Match Report
NETHERLANDS beat Romania 3-0 in the last-16 clash at the Allianz Arena to secure their spot into the quarter-finals.
Cody Gakpo's first-half goal followed by Donyell Mallen's double strike means Ronald Koeman's side face either Turkey or Austria in the next round.
Gakpo was the star of the show despite his second-half goal being ruled out due to VAR.
The Liverpool man made up for it after keeping the ball in the game allowing Mallen to steer it into the back of the net.
And Mallen was not done there as he struck in the final moments of the game to seal the deal for Holland.
