Netherlands vs Turkey Quarter Final, UEFA Euro 2024 Live: Netherlands will take on Turkey in the last quarterfinal match at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday.
Both teams have endured a long wait to reach the UEFA semifinals. The Dutch last made it past the quarterfinals in 2004 whereas Turkey played their only semifinal in the 2008 Euros where they lost to Germany 2-3. While the Netherlands had a lacklustre start to their campaign, they pulled through the Round of 16 match against Romania with a comfortable 3-0 win.
Meanwhile, Turkey enter the contest after a thrilling and controversial 2-1 over Austria in the Round of 16. Defender Merih Demiral, who secured a brace in the game for Turkey, will miss the crucial contest after receiving a two-match ban from the UEFA for his provocative celebratory gestures. Netherlands and Turkey last faced each other in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying rounds where both teams secured a win each.
It was gorgeously simple football — the hardest thing there is, to reproduce Johan Cruyff. From the Dutch side of the centre circle, Jerdy Schouten rolled a pass to Xavi Simons. A pass with neither power nor pace, but it immaculately split two Romanian shirts, the referee and found Xavi Simons in the space.
The playmaker cushioned the ball on his left instep, spun to his right, took a couple touches, and released Cody Gakpo, ferreting on the left flank. He cut away, then cut in, leaving his marker in the wake, took a touch to gather himself and slammed the ball net-wards, a low and ferocious shot inside goalkeeper Florin Nita’s near post.
It was a throwback goal from a throwback display, bursting with a blend of flair and finesse (except in front of the goal), pace and precision, transporting for a moment or two to the heady 90s of Dutch football, with those highly-skilled artistes of self-destruction. At first, the goal was a three-man orchestra. But the replays would insist that more men were involved. While the men on the left made the goal happen, the ones on the right helped make the goal happen with delightful movement off the ball and scattering the defenders’ attention.
