90+3' GOAAAL!!!!

90' Added Time: 4 Mintutes

85' Depay (Netherlands) misses the target.Depay rifles over after cutting inside with the Oranje now looking like a team enjoying themselves.

83' The Oranje finally get their second goal! Gakpo just keeps the ball in play under pressure from Drăgușin and prods it back from the byline for Malen to poke home.

80' Gakpo (Netherlands) has a shot blocked.Malen leads the counter and finds Gakpo but his strike is deflected behind.

74' Three new players on for the Dutch now, but the pattern stays the same. They’re on the front foot, hungry for the ball, and continue to pin Romania back.

73' Veerman (Netherlands) misses the target.Lovely back-heel by Gakpo gives Veerman the chance to curl an effort inside the far corner but he strikes wide of the upright. Still the second goal will not come for the Oranje.

68' Niță (Romania) makes a save.Wonderful run from midway inside his own half from Gakpo, which ends with a fierce shot that the goalkeeper palms wide.

66' The Dutch are dominant, no doubt. But Romania always look dangerous from set plays, so a one-goal cushion is a fragile advantage.

64' Racovițan saved Romania this time. But they still have problems at this moment with keeping the ball and conducting an attack. The stands are cheering continuously for them, encouraging the squad. They show courage, but they lack some strength on the left wing.

62' Eleven corners now for the Oranje, and the closest yet as Van Dijk’s header hits the outside of the post. One of them will surely reap dividends eventually.

60' Aké (Netherlands) blocks a shot.Rare moment for Romania as Aké is forced to stand firm to block Drăguş's effort from the edge of the area.

58' Van Dijk (Netherlands) hits the woodwork.Nearly 2-0! The centre-back rises unchallenged to meet the corner but his header bounces off the outside of the post before going wide.

57' Reijnders (Netherlands) misses the target.Van Dijk wins the ball and feeds Reijnders, who skips past one challenge then scuffs wide from 20 metres. Another good surge from the midfielder though.

54' Rațiu (Romania) blocks a shot.How did that stay out? Malen and Depay cannot make the critical contact on the low cross from the right and, despite another deflection taking the ball towards his goal, Niță clings on.

50' Reijnders (Netherlands) has a shot blocked.Marauding run through the middle from Reijnders ends with a diving block from Racoviţan.

45' Second-half kicks-off

HALF TIME: Romania 0-1 Netherlands

45' Added Time: 2 Minutes

44' Verbruggen (Netherlands) makes a save.The goalkeeper is called into action by a curling shot that flies straight towards him from the edge of the area after Van Dijk had given away possession midway inside his own half.

41' Simons (Netherlands) misses the target.Another decent chance as Dumfries wins the ball on the byline and cuts it back to the centre of the area. Simons decides to take a touch instead of strike first time and is eventually crowded into a rushed effort that dribbles wide.

38' Mogoş will not be able to continue. This is far from ideal for Romania. Racovițan comes on and let's hope he can help them regain the initiative here.

36' Three Dutch players crowded Drăguş out when he picked up the ball in his own half. The Oranje clearly want as much of the ball as possible.

34' A goal-saving tackle from Drăgușin denies Depay a tap-in after Dumfries gets in behind the Romania back line then slides the ball across the box.

30' It's great to see how the Dutch slow down the game after one of their corners so that Van Dijk can get back into defence. Once the big man's in place, they up the tempo and go again.

26'De Vrij (Netherlands) misses the target.Big chance! Depay's corner is deep and Burcă misjudges it, allowing De Vrij a free header that he can only plant into the side-netting.

24' Aké (Netherlands) blocks a shot.Stanciu gets into a dangerous position and cuts the ball across for Man, whose attempt to sweep it into the bottom corner is thwarted by the Dutch defender.

21' What a strike for the Netherlands. Let's hope that this won't affect Romania's players as happened in the match with Belgium. They can turn the score around and they have showed today that they are capable of controlling the game.

20' GOALLLLLLLL!!!! NETHERLANDSSSSS

Netherlands make the breakthrough! Simons surges forwards and slips the ball out wide to the forward, who cuts in from the left flank and thumps an effort inside Niță's near post from 18 metres.

17' There was talk before the match that the Dutch would dominate possession and Romania would wait to strike on the counter, but that’s absolutely not the case. Iordănescu’s men are really taking the game to the Oranje.4

16' Niță is putting his heart and soul out here for sure. And the defensive line has worked perfectly until now, protecting Romania's goal. We need to see some good build-up through the middle and for the wingers to take a chance against the Netherlands defence now.

14' Man (Romania) misses the target.Man drives inside from the right flank and looks to bend an effort into the top corner, only just missing his intended target. That has revved up the Romanian fans even more!

12' There was a pleasing directness to that move that resulted in Depay shooting against Niță, even though he was offside. Playing forward passes whenever possible – that’s what we want.

10' Hagi is back on song on the left wing and it is a pretty good move that the coach did by including him. Hagi has the quality of being unpredictable and now, with that left foot, he might be just what is needed to see Romania score.

8' Eager to see how Dumfries and Bergwijn combine down the Dutch right flank. The Ajax forward is the fourth person Koeman has used so far in that right-wing position; Simons, Frimpong and Malen preceded him.

6' Niță (Romania) makes a save.A first sighter from Simons as he takes aim from 20 metres and fires a powerful effort straight at Niță.

5' Bergwijn (Netherlands) is adjudged to be in an offside position.

4' The flow of the game will obviously influence the noise levels, but I have to say that, right now, the Romanian fans are way louder than the Dutch ones.

3' M. Marin (Romania) concedes a free-kick for a foul on Depay (Netherlands).

2' Depay (Netherlands) concedes a free-kick for a foul on M. Marin (Romania).

This match marks the 15th encounter between the teams, the first since the Netherlands secured a 3-0 victory in a friendly in Bucharest on 14 November 2017. Second-half goals by Memphis Depay (47), Ryan Babel (56), and substitute Luuk de Jong (81) led Dick Advocaat's Dutch side to a comfortable win over Cosmin Contra's Romanian team.

The victor of this match will face either Austria or Türkiye in the quarter-finals in Berlin on 6 July.

The Netherlands appeared poised for an easy progression after a 2-1 comeback victory against Poland on Matchday 1 in Group D. This was followed by a scoreless draw with France before a 3-2 loss to Austria dropped them to third place, behind France.

Romania topped Group E, primarily due to a 3-0 triumph over Ukraine in Munich in their opening game. They later fell 2-0 to Belgium but secured first place after a 1-1 draw with Slovakia, marking a EURO first as all four teams in the group ended with four points each.

The Dutch have emerged victorious in ten of their 14 encounters with Romania, netting 29 goals. However, Romania enters this clash as group winners, while the Oranje advanced as one of the top third-placed teams.

Romania aims to break the Netherlands' historic stronghold in their upcoming match at the Munich Football Arena in the second-to-last round of 16 tie at UEFA EURO 2024.
