Full TIME : Romania 0-2 Netherlands (Gakpo, 63)

Denzel Dumfries (7/10):

An absolute menace to the Romania defence as he continually inverted, especially in the first half. His influence waned somewhat but made a strong case for playing in the quarter-final.

Stefan De Vrij (6/10):

Headed just wide when unmarked from a corner at 1-0. The Dutch held such a high line that he was often in midfield. Never allowed Romania to get in behind him.

Virgil van Dijk (5/10):

Continually trusted as the last man. Sloppy giveaway allowed Dragus to shoot and later went close to scoring a second with an excellent header. A mixed bag.

Nathan Ake (6/10):

Some sweeping long passes and excellent last-ditch challenges. Replaced by Van de Ven.

Subs & Manager

Donyell Malen (8/10):

Replaced Bergwijn at half-time. A threat down the right and scored twice, the second a brilliant counter-attacking run. Sure to start the quarter-final now.

Joey Veerman (6/10):

On for Schouten. Almost scored straight away, as he curled an effort just wide.

Micky van de Ven (6/10):

Replaced Ake. Barely tested.

Wout Weghorst (6/10):

Replaced Gakpo at 2-0.

Daley Blind (N/A):

Came on in injury time.

Ronald Koeman (7/10):

GOAL! Romania 0-2 Netherlands (Gakpo, 63)

This feels like it’s been coming for an eternity…

Gakpo pokes the ball home from Malen’s knock-on. BUT HANG ON. VAR will check this because Malen looks to be in an offside position.

Be stunned if this counts
