⏪ Türkiye shade Austria to reach quarter finals; Netherlands down Romania
The EURO 2024 round of 16 concludes on Tuesday night as Austria take on Türkiye after the Netherlands cruised past Romania.
2024-07-02T20:54:21Z
FULL TIME
It's all over in Leipzig! Despite Austria's best efforts, it's Türkiye who will face the Netherlands in this weekend's quarter-final clash. Huge credit to Vincenzo Montella's side for holding their nerve in the second half, especially that last-gasp save.
2024-07-02T20:53:26Z
WHAT A SAVE!
How has Mert Günok saved that!? Incredible reflexes to deny Baumgartner with a header in the closing seconds!
2024-07-02T20:50:07Z
Türkiye players dropping like flies with cramp as they throw their bodies on the line. They know how close a place in the quarter-finals is for them. It's been nothing short of heroic from them in this second half as Austria cranked the pressure.
2024-07-02T20:48:14Z
Four minutes of added time confirmed to play. Will see another decisive goal for either side?
2024-07-02T20:47:00Z
The conditions in Leipzig have really added to this contest as it becomes even more frenzied. This is what you'd class as 'proper' football weather.
2024-07-02T20:44:56Z
CHANCE!
Time's ticking away for Austria as Arnautović floats in a corner which Baumgartner meets but sends it wide.
2024-07-02T20:38:14Z
We're now into the final ten minutes plus stoppages. Can Austria find a leveller on Rangnick's former stomping ground?
2024-07-02T20:26:14Z
GOAL! Türkiye 2-1 Austria
We might just have a contest on our hands now! Gregoritsch comes up trumps for Austria, prodding home at the far post from Stefan Posch's corner. With just under 25 minutes remaining, things could get interesting.
2024-07-02T20:22:09Z
It's been getting a bit feisty out there as Güler was pelted with plastic cups before providing Demiral's assist. They kept raining down after Türkiye doubled their advantage, too. Between that and the rogue shoe in the Netherlands' game earlier, UEFA's disciplinary chiefs are going to have some fun going through it all.
2024-07-02T20:18:21Z
GOAL! Austria 0-2 Türkiye
And it's that man again Demiral, this time heading home from a Güler corner at close range
2024-07-02T20:11:05Z
YELLOW CARD!
Philipp Lienhart with a pretty cynical foul on Güler, who had shown him a clean pair of heels. No arguments about that one.
2024-07-02T20:09:43Z
CHANCE!
Superb reflexes from Mert Günok to deny Arnautović at point-blank range. It's all Austria at the moment.
2024-07-02T20:07:02Z
CHANCE!
Gregoritsch already having an instant impact as he meets Marko Arnautović's cross from the right but sends it narrowly wide. Flag immediately goes up against the Inter forward for failing to stop the ball crossing the byline before his delivery.
2024-07-02T20:03:51Z
We're underway for the second 45 in Leipzi. Türkiye still ahead and unchanged from the interval.
2024-07-02T20:03:08Z
It looks like Ralf Rangnick will be making some changes at the start of the second half with Schmid and Phillipp Mwene making way for Michael Gregoritsch and Alexander Prass
2024-07-02T19:48:08Z
HALF TIME
Still the one goal separating the teams at the break but not for a lack of trying from Austria. Baumgartner has been their main protagonist in front of goal but it's just not landing for him yet.
2024-07-02T19:47:22Z
CHANCE!
We're in the final seconds of first half added time as Baumgartner stabs at a cross into the box but sends it wide.
2024-07-02T19:39:03Z
YELLOW CARD!
One apiece in the cautions now as Romano Schmid's name is taken.
2024-07-02T19:33:43Z
Just past the midway point in the first half now and Güler has been comfortably the standout with his set piece delivery and some very smart passing. The Real Madrid midfielder is a cut above at the moment.
2024-07-02T19:25:34Z
CHANCE!
Demiral is again at the heart of things in attack as he meets Güler's corner but can't keep the header down.
2024-07-02T19:11:42Z
YELLOW CARD!
Orkun Kökçü goes into the book early and that means he will now miss the quarter-final if Türkiye progress.
2024-07-02T19:07:55Z
CHANCE!
Almost an instant response from Austria as Christoph Baumgartner meets a corner at the far post but the goal scorer Demiral is on hand to deny him and clear the danger.
2024-07-02T19:04:31Z
GOAL! Austria 0-1 Türkiye
A lightning start with Merih Demiral putting his side ahead inside 57 seconds!
2024-07-02T19:03:07Z
🚨 KICK OFF! We're underway in Leipzig
2024-07-02T18:53:17Z
It will be a fascinating atmosphere in Leipzig tonight. Not only are the two countries' colours the same, but they are also arguably the best supported in Germany given Austria's proximity and the strong Turkish presence in the country.
2024-07-02T18:51:31Z
A new look for the big day? 😅

Awaiting the Dutch in the next round is either Austria (who beat them in the final group game) or Türkiye.

Munich will be a sea of orange tonight.

FULL TIME
The Netherlands are through to a first EUROs quarter finals since 2008.
2024-07-02T17:55:52Z
GOAL: Romania 0-3 Netherlands
Mallen gets his second with the near last kick of the game, and what a lovely finish it was.
2024-07-02T17:49:09Z
A nice moment for the Dortmund forward
⚠️ | QUICK STAT
After four goalless appearances at EURO 2020, and a further two at #EURO2024 before today, Donyell Malen has just scored his first-ever goal at a major international tournament. ⚽️🇳🇱

2024-07-02T17:43:41Z
GOAL: Romania 0-2 Netherlands
At long last, the Dutch have taken one of their many chances, and likely sealed their place in the last eight with seven minutes left to play.
Again, it was Gakpo at the heart of it, making his way down the touchline before poking it back for Malen to slot home.
2024-07-02T17:35:27Z
15 to go
2024-07-02T17:34:49Z
CHANCE!
The Netherlands should have been home and hosed 25 minutes ago, but it's getting silly now.
First, Simons took one touch too many and then Veerman shot wide after being played in by Gakpo.
Can Romania do something here?
2024-07-02T17:30:18Z
Koeman's freshened things up with 20 minutes to go. Micky van de Ven and Joey Veerman are on for Nathan Aké and Jerdy Schouten.
2024-07-02T17:24:44Z
OFFSIDE!
Gakpo thought he had got his and his side's second when he finished from close range. However, he was correctly ruled offside by VAR as Romania hung on.
2024-07-02T17:19:48Z
ANOTHER DUTCH CHANCE!
Virgil van Dijk rose to meet a corner but his header shaved the side of the post and went wide.
Romania are somehow still in this.
2024-07-02T17:18:35Z
Of course, it was Drăgușin in the way. Ange Postecoglou will be delighted with what he's seen from his player in recent weeks.
2024-07-02T17:16:00Z
GOALMOUTH SCRAMBLE!
How have the Netherlands not doubled their lead? Dumfries is having so much joy down the right and his ball made its way to Malen and Depay, neither of whom could score due to heroic Romanian defending.
2024-07-02T17:11:36Z
Tijani Reijnders has been one of the Netherlands' best players this summer, and the Milan midfielder showed why with a charging run that took him to the edge of the Romanian box.
2024-07-02T17:06:26Z
The second half is underway, with Donyell Malen on for Steven Bergwijn in the Dutch attack.
2024-07-02T16:54:57Z
Orange is the new black in Munich right now.
2024-07-02T16:53:22Z
It might have been a relatively simple pass to Gakpo but Simons made some history in the process.
Xavi Simons is the youngest starter (21y, 72d) to provide an assist in a European Championship knockout stage game for the Netherlands.

2024-07-02T16:49:32Z
HALF TIME
The Dutch lead through Gakpo's 20th minute strike but could yet rue not taking more of their chances.
2024-07-02T16:46:24Z
ANOTHER DUTCH CHANCE!
Racovițan tried to see the ball out for a goal kick but lost it to Dumfries, who played it into Simons. The youngster couldn't sort his feet and his feeble shot went wide.
2024-07-02T16:42:28Z
Mogoș is off for Bogdan Racovițan, and Romania just need half-time at this point.
2024-07-02T16:39:20Z
Romania have been down to 10 men for nearly last five minutes with Vasile Mogoș off receiving treatment. They are doing well to stay in this game.
2024-07-02T16:34:14Z
CHANCE!
Dumfries is causing havoc down the right. The Inter Milan full back got in behind and almost found Memphis Depay for a tap-in.
Radu Drăgușin was there to save the day, however, continuing an excellent tournament for the Spurs defender.
2024-07-02T16:32:10Z
The Dutch have had six corners inside the opening half hour here. It feels like a second goal is coming, in truth.
2024-07-02T16:28:20Z
CHANCE!
As tends to happen, that 20th minute strike has changed the game completely. Stefan de Vrij found himself unmarked at the back post from a corner, and really should have scored.
2024-07-02T16:27:01Z
The go-to guy for the Dutch.
Gakpo is also now the joint top-scorer in the competition.
World Cup:
3 goals
Euros:
3 goals
Cody Gakpo loves a big tournament 🇳🇱 pic.twitter.com/3T6NsZfuIe— B/R Football (@brfootball) July 2, 2024
2024-07-02T16:24:12Z
The Liverpool man picked up the ball off Xavi Simons on the left, cut inside and smashed home from just outside the box. Florin Niță will have been disappointed to have let it go past him.
2024-07-02T16:21:00Z
GOAL!: Romania 0-1 Netherlands
It's come nearly completely against the run of play but the Netherlands are in the lead through Cody Gakpo.
2024-07-02T16:16:32Z
CLOSE!
Dennis Man, back in the side today, cut inside from the right and curled a fierce left-footed effort just over the bar.
2024-07-02T16:14:29Z
The Dutch, as has been the case for much of the EUROs, have not going. They are sat deep and inviting Romanian pressure.
2024-07-02T16:10:56Z
Romania are attacking the end in which their fans are housed in, and you can tell such is the noise of the Yellow Wall.
2024-07-02T16:07:49Z
Steven Berjwijn was the surprise inclusion in Ronald Koeman's lineup, and the former Spurs man's first real involvement saw him ruled just offside.
2024-07-02T16:05:15Z
Inside a raucous and colourful Allianz Arena, Denzel Dumfries came to the Netherlands' rescue early on with an excellent header to clear a Romania cross.
2024-07-02T16:04:14Z
🚨 KICK OFF: And we're live!
