Koeman kept the lineup that impressed once morest Romania in the round of 16, but this time the ability was much less good. Until the 57th minute, the Oranges didn’t even manage to get one shot on target once morest the compact Turkey, who pressed brilliantly and managed to embarrass Virgil van Dijk and the defense with the speed of Baris Yilmaz and Arda Golar. Real Madrid’s diamond also scored in the 35th minute for the stopper Samet Ekaidin who atoned for the own goal from the defeat to Portugal, but this time as mentioned it was not enough.
Vout and Horst came on at the start of the second half and Holland’s whole style changed thanks to the presence of a true goal striker. Cody Gakpo was also suddenly felt, the pressure increased and Memphis Depay equalized for Stephane de Frey in the 70th minute. Six minutes later, Cody Gakpo thought the turnaround was on his name and he was the sole goalscorer of the tournament, but the goal was finally registered as an own by Mert Muldor. This will not hinder the Liverpool star who will try to secure the individual title in the next games, when the national title is of course much more important. The Netherlands is once once more among the greats of Europe, following two decades.
