The Netherlands showed impressive attacking power in the match against Romania in the round of 16 of EURO 2024. The brilliance of Gakpo and Malen helped the "Orange Storm" reach the quarterfinals.

Entering the EURO 2024 round of 16 match against Romania, the Netherlands showed that the defeat in the final match of the group stage against Austria was just an accident. Ronald Koeman's army completely controlled the game and continuously put pressure on Romania's goal.

In the 20th minute, Cody Gakpo dribbled past a Romanian defender before unleashing a powerful shot into the near corner to beat goalkeeper Nita. The Liverpool striker also rose to the top of the scoring charts with his third goal at EURO this year.

After that, the Netherlands created many more chances. However, the first half ended without any more goals. After the break, the Netherlands took the initiative to slow down the game, ready to launch counter-attacks when the opportunity arose.

However, it was not until the 83rd minute that Romania's defensive mistake allowed the Netherlands to score their second goal. After Gakpo's save, substitute striker Malen quickly cut in to double the gap for the Netherlands.

Defeating Romania 3-0, the Netherlands won the right to enter the quarter-finals and once again affirmed that they will revive the "Orange Storm" at EURO 2024.
