Euro 2024 Group D reached its conclusion on Tuesday evening as Austria powered past the Netherlands in an enthralling encounter in Berlin.

Ralf Rangnick’s side grabbed an early lead after Donyell Malen turned a cross into his own net, and they dominated much of the first 45 as the Netherlands wasted a couple of chances to equalise.

The second half began in the opposite manner, with Cody Gakpo curling an equaliser past Pentz within five minutes of the restart. The Dutch began to impose themselves on the match, but they were behind again before they knew it as Romano Schmid guided a header past Verbruggen.

With both teams pressing to gain an advantage, the Netherlands were briefly back into it after Depay poked an effort past Pentz, but their parity was once more short-lived. Baumgartner threaded in a pass to Sabitzer, who broke through and rifled an effort into the roof of the Dutch net.

The Netherlands pushed for an equaliser as full-time loomed but Austria held firm to take three points in the German capital, and with them first place in Group D.

Ronald Koeman looks strangely relaxed as he sits on the bench. The Dutch are still probing but they’re yet to create a big chance since going behind.

GOAL! And Austria reply straight away!

It comes to Prass on the left and Austria work it backwards. Grillitsch makes the overlapping run and he collects the through ball before cutting it back from the touchline. His pass is straight to Romano Schmid and he heads it on target, with a deflection taking it past Verbruggen.

Pentz stays down for a little while, but he’ll be okay to carry on.

The Netherlands win a free-kick on the right, and it’ll be Depay to deliver one more.

This one’s a more inviting delivery, but de Vrij glances a header wide.

All Netherlands in the second half so far, but no chances since the goal. Austria clearly haven’t changed their tactics, but they’re struggling to keep possession far more than they were in the first 45.

GOAL! An early Dutch counter ends with an equaliser!

Geertruida wins the ball and it runs to Xavi Simons. He’s still in his own half and he drives towards the box, eventually laying it off to Gakpo. He cuts back inside and sweeps an inch-perfect effort into the far corner.
