Gary Lineker shocks Euros viewers with crude Ronaldo joke

Netherlands beat Turkey in a thrilling quarter-final at Euro 2024 on Saturday, setting up a semi-final with England next week.

Underdogs Turkey always looked dangerous on the break, but they took the lead through a set piece, with Samet Akaydin netting a header in the first half.

The Dutch looked in danger, but Ronald Koeman’s side hit back with 20 minutes left in normal time, as Stefan de Vrij scored his own header to draw his nation level. And then six minutes later, Cody Gakpo forced an own goal from Mert Muldur, catching the Turkish defender out with a back-post run.

That strike proved the difference in Berlin, as Netherlands booked their spot in the final four, where England await on Wednesday.

Re-live all action and follow the post-game fallout below, as Netherlands beat Turkey at Euro 2024.

It’s a free-kick in a dangerous position for Turkey, with Calhanoglu to deliver again. It’s swung in towards the penalty spot, but Verbruggen punches it away, and the Netherlands end up with a throw.

Richard Jolly, our Senior Football Correspondent, at the stadium:

“All rather loud in Berlin, which is largely the Turkey fans, though they haven't actually had that much to cheer on the pitch. The Netherlands have been the more ambitious and progressive, with Turkey looking to defend deep and counter-attack.”

Good work from both sides as Guler collects the ball and threads it through to Yilmaz. He’s almost through, but van Dijk does well to recover.

Moments later, Simons is the first player in the book after a late challenge.

Gakpo goes down too easily near the box, and Turkey have possession once more. Good refereeing so far – wish we could say that about the game though.

Yilmaz chases a long ball over the top before sliding a hopeful cross to Yildiz, but the Netherlands clear.

There’s a brief break in play as Gakpo landed on Akaydin.

It resumes with a Turkey attack, but it quickly breaks down and the Dutch counter, though Gakpo loses it.

Frantic but scrappy so far. Lacking quality in the final third, too.

Turkey are doubling up on Gakpo, as you might expect. The Netherlands are having plenty of the ball near halfway, with Turkey happy to sit deeper.

A deep Netherlands cross is almost pounced on, but it runs out for a goal kick. Moments later, Xavi Simons finds himself in space outside the box, but he curls an effort over.

Turkey give it away from the goal kick, and the Dutch have sustained possession again.
