The Netherlands are set for the semi-finals after a strong comeback against Turkey, which ended 2-1.
Turkey took the lead in the first half when Samet Akaydin headed the ball into the goal after a precise cross from Arda Güler in the 35th minute.
The Netherlands fought hard for an equaliser, and after several good efforts they finally succeeded in the 71st minute, when Memphis Depay headed a corner back to Schouten, who sent the ball back to Depay.
Depay found Stefan De Vrij in the box, who put the ball into the net and it was 1-1.
But four minutes later, the Netherlands were on the move again. Dumfries put in a good cross and Cody Gakpo managed to put the ball in the back of the net despite the effort going over. It still has to be said that the ball went through Turkey’s Müldür before the net, but Gapko made a great preparation.
The Netherlands were leading 2-1 and held it until the final whistle.

England to the semi-finals
Towards the end of the game, Turkey pushed an equaliser. Cenk Tosun and Kerem Akturkoglu were substituted to strengthen the attack, but the Dutch defense managed to avoid the dangerous situations.
Five minutes of added time were a concern for the Dutch, with Turkey coming close a few times. A great save from Mert Günok stopped a shot from Cody Gakpo, and van de Ven blocked a dangerous shot from Turkey in the 85th minute.
Turkey failed to find the back of the net and the Netherlands won.
The Netherlands now face England in the semi-finals after the Tree Lions beat Switzerland on penalties earlier this evening.
