Match overview
Gakpo’s first-half strike settled Dutch nerves and Romania’s spirited pressing eventually faded. Substitute Malen added two late breakaway goals, giving the Oranje their most emphatic Euro knockout win since 2008 and booking a Berlin quarter-final.
Trivia
Cody Gakpo’s opener meant six of his 12 Netherlands goals have come at major tournaments. Romania still await their first Euro knockout win since 2000, while the Dutch have now progressed from six of their last eight quarter-finals at World Cups or Euros.
