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.

A scrappy start so far, but the Netherlands have had two pretty good opportunities. Yilmaz thinks he’s been brought down as the last man, but no foul given.

Ake clears up the Turkey threat, but the Netherlands lose it straight away. No matter though, as Reijnders does well to track back and intercept.

Dumfries whips it across to Depay, but he can’t get clean contact on the shot, before Gakpo is offside moments later.

Plenty of boos as the Netherlands are keeping most of the possession. Reijnders can’t get through through, and Yilmaz leads the counter, but Calhanoglu’s pass is wayward.

The first red flare has been lit and the boos are out whenever the Netherlands have the ball.

And the Dutch have the first chance of the game, as Depay manages to squeeze through the challenges in the box and rifle a shot over and wide!

Should have got that on target.

Head-to-head

These two sides have faced each other 14 times in the past, with the Netherlands winning six, Turkey winning four and four ending as draws.

They first met in 1958, and have since met several times in World Cup qualifying and international friendlies, though they have never met at a major tournament before.

The last two games between the two nations came in the qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup. Turkey won 4-2 in the home game thanks to a hatrrick from Burak Yilmaz, though Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands won the return game 6-1 thanks, in part, to a hat-trick from Memphis Depay.
