Donyell Malen’s late double steers Netherlands past Romania at Euro 2024Andy Hampson, PADonyell Malen struck twice late on as the Netherlands reached the Euro 2024 quarter-finals with a 3-0 win over Romania in Munich. Romania made the brighter start with Dennis Man going close but Gakpo changed the game with his third goal of the tournament. The Liverpool forward finished well as he cut inside from the left and lashed a low right-foot shot inside Florin Nita’s near post. The Netherlands threatened more as Tijjani Reijnders had a powerful effort blocked by Radu Dragusin and Stefan De Vrij headed narrowly wide. Romania felt hard done to when play was pulled back for a foul by Denis Alibec as Nicolae Stanciu broke away but Malen finished the game with his late double.
