Netherlands Book Spot in Euro 2024 Semis

Despite Trailing Early, Dutch Team Rallies for Victory

Turkey's Hopes Dashed by Second-Half Comeback

The Netherlands reached the semi-finals of Euro 2024 in dramatic fashion on Saturday, coming from behind to defeat Turkey 2-1.

Turkey took an early lead in the match, but the Dutch side grew into the game and equalized before halftime. In the second half, the Netherlands dominated play and scored the winning goal to secure their spot in the final four.

The victory was a sweet one for the Netherlands, who were looking to avenge their defeat to Turkey in the qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup. It was also a significant win for head coach Ronald Koeman, who has been under pressure following a disappointing Nations League campaign.

The Netherlands will now face England in the semi-finals, while Turkey's tournament is over. It was a disappointing end for the Turkish side, who had hoped to make a deep run in the competition.
