Netherlands v Turkey LIVE: Result, final score and reaction as Dutch set up England semi-final
Stefan de Vrij netted before Cody Gakpo forced an own goal, as the Dutch came from behind to win
Netherlands beat Turkey in a thrilling quarter-final at Euro 2024 on Saturday, setting up a semi-final with England next week.
Underdogs Turkey always looked dangerous on the break, but they took the lead through a set piece, with Samet Akaydin netting a header in the first half.
The Dutch looked in danger, but Ronald Koeman’s side hit back with 20 minutes left in normal time, as Stefan de Vrij scored his own header to draw his nation level. And then six minutes later, Cody Gakpo forced an own goal from Mert Muldur, catching the Turkish defender out with a back-post run.
That strike proved the difference in Berlin, as Netherlands booked their spot in the final four, where England await on Wednesday.
