Netherlands vs. Turkey final score: Euro 2024 result as Koeman's men set up England clash after quarterfinal comeback image

The Netherlands completed a gutsy second-half comeback to beat Turkey 2-1 at Euro 2024 and set up a semifinal showdown with England.

Vincenzo Montella's side have been appointment viewing with their high-octane style at this tournament and they were good value for a 35th-minute lead when Samet Akaydin headed home Arda Guler's superb cross.

Ronald Koeman's decision to send on striker Wout Weghorst at halftime changed the complexion of the contest and Stefan de Vrij headed home Memphis Depay's 70th-minute cross after Turkey fell asleep from a short corner.

There was more sub-standard defending six minutes later when Denzel Dumfries' cross skidded all the way to the back post. Mert Mulder was late to react to Cody Gakpo getting in front of him and put through his own goal in trying to remedy the situation.

As they're seemingly contractually obliged to do so, Turkey piled forward and made the Dutch dig deep in a grandstand finale.

Micky van de Ven cleared out of the goalmouth when fellow substitute Zeki Celik tried to slot home. That opportunity came about in part because Bart Verbruggen was all at sea, but the Netherlands goalkeeper responded with an astonishing stoppage-time save from Semih Kilicsoy, who had only just come on. A few moments later, the Turkish players collapsed to the floor with their thrilling adventure at an end.

Netherlands vs. Turkey live updates, highlights from Euro 2024

Fulltime

It's over! The Netherlands have come from behind and will face England in Dortmund on Wednesday in the second semifinal. It's not unfair to say that game is unlikely to be as entertaining as any game with |Turkey involved in it. Vincenzo Montella's side have thrilled at this competition but two goals in the space of six minutes from Ronald Koeman's men saw them run out of road. Thanks for joining us.

90+2 mins: Unbelievable save from Verbruggen! The substitute Kilicsoy thought he'd forced extra time but the Netherland goalkeeper gets down to pull of a reaction stop.

90 mins: Calhanoglu puts a typically testing free-kick into the box. It's deflected to the back post where Akturkoglu can't find the finish. Five added minutes to come.

89 mins: Gakpo surges onto Frimpong's flick on to make a fine save but Gunok stands firm.

88 mins: Lovely feel from Guler and Tosun grapples with Dumfries to head onto the roof of the net.

85 mins: CHAOS IN THE NETHERLANDS PENALTY AREA! Verbruggen all at sea and there's a goalmouth block from Schouten to deny Celik before Dumfries gets in the way of Akturkoglu's shot.

84 mins: Substitute Tosun gets in front at the near post but the veteran striker heads over.

76 mins: GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!! Mert Mulder (OG)!!!!

They've turned it around with two goals in six minutes. Turkey are crestfallen. Dumnfries' low cross squirms all the way across goal where Gakpo bundles it in. It actually looks like the unfortunate Mulder has got the final touch.

75 mins: Memphis barrelling into the Turkey box. It's scrambled behind and the short corner doesn't come to anything this time.

72 mins: Double change for the Dutch as Van de Ven and Veerman replace Ake and Reijnders.

70 mins: GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!! Stefan De Vrij

The Netherlands work a nice short corner, Turkey go to sleep and De Vrij powers home from Memphis's cross.

70 mins: Ohhh, Weghorst should do better. Gakpo swipes at an overhead attempt, Turkey all over the place in their box. Now a deflected cross flies towards Weghorst and he can't make a clean contact. It is a corner, though.

66 mins: Inventive short-corner routine from Calhanoglu and Guler but there's an offside in there. That's probably the end of Turkey's latest burst but they put Koeman's side through the ringer there.

65 mins: Free-kick is only partially cleared,Yildiz drills one, brilliant save from Verbruggen and a prone Weghorst clears behind under pressure. 

63 mins: Turkey have just managed to scramble out of some nonsense in their own area but here's Yilmaz tearing down the right flank. Van Dijk has to foul him and he joins Ake in the book. Calhanoglu over the free-kick.

57 mins: Depay drives at the backpedalling Dutch defence and fires a shot too close to Gunok. It feels a like a big goal is around the corner right now.

56 mins: GULER HITS THE POST! The Madrid star flashes a low strike around the wall and hit bounces before hitting the outside of the left upright.

55 mins: Yilmaz flicks on and Ake is in trouble with Guler goal side. He brings him down and the distance from goal and presence of other defenders nearby means it's a yellow.

54 mins: Ooohhh, that's a much better ball from Gakpo. Weghorst can't connect and he wants a corner. Understandably so because Akaydin glanced out behind.

53 mins: Gakpo gets down the outside and crosses. It comes to nought but the Weghorst-bolstered Netherlands are giving Turkey plenty to consider.

52 mins: Ake flings a ball across the box and Weghorst makes his presence felt, heading back across goal. Memphis can't finish and the flag is up in any case.

Kickoff: 2nd Half

Wer're back underway and Weghorst is on for the Netherlands to try to further embellish his cult-hero status. Bergwijn the man to make way.

Halftime

Turkey are 45 minutes away from emulating their Euro 2008 run to the semifinals. The Netherlands started in controlled fashion but Vincenzo Montella's side swarmed through the gears as they do and the Dutch were feeling the head before Akaydin found the breakthrough. They might have to go to the well like they did against Austria in the previous round but you sense this team won't mind that one bit. 

45 mins: Two added minutes. You'd think Turkey might try to slow the pace down and take the sting out to reach the interval but I'm not sure they have those gears.

40 mins: Memphis looking to fashion response as Turkey scramble back but Gakpo has ventured offside.

35 mins: GOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!!! Samet Akaydin!!!!!!

Turkey lead and it has been coming. Guler retrieves the over-hit corner from the left. He can't cross on his favourite left foot put sends over a pearler with his right and Akaydin heads home!

28 mins: Half chance for Turkey as  Hakan Calhanoglu floats a free kick into the Netherlands box but an off balance Abdulkerim Bardakci hooks over.

First booking of the night as Xavi Simons catches Mert Muldur.

22 mins: Nothing to split the teams after a quarter of the game played with Guler and Gakpo on the fringes so far.

18 mins: Baris Alper Yilmaz does well to gain some territory for Turkey, as he chases a lost cause, and wins a corner.

14 mins: Turkey are slowly nudging themselves into the contest now as Salih Ozcan lashing one over the top of the Dutch goal.

8 mins: Bright start from Koeman's Netherlands in this high-stakes clash with Memphis Depay blazing over the bar from Cody Gakpo's lay off after just three minutes.

Gakpo then drags an effort off target - and based on his high standards at the tournament, he might have expected to do better.

KICKOFF IN BERLIN: NETHERLANDS VS. TURKEY!

15 mins to KO: England's penalty shootout win over Switzerland means tonight's winner will face the Three Lions in the semifinal.

40 mins to KO: Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler was pivotal in the Round of 16 win against Romania and he will be central to Turkey's hopes tonight.

Netherlands vs. Turkey lineups, team news, starting 11

Dutch coach Ronald Koeman is likely to start Donyell Malen after his impressive performance against Romania, where he scored twice. Malen replaced Steven Bergwijn at halftime in that match, and his impact has likely secured his spot in the starting 11.

Turkey are boosted by the return of captain Hakan Calhanoglu and defender Samet Akaydin, both of whom missed the Austria match due to suspensions.

However, they are without without midfielders Orkun Kokcu and Ismail Yuksek, through suspension

Centre back Merih Demiral is also absent as serves a two-game ban for his "wolf" celebration against Austria in the Round of 16.

Turkey starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Gunok (GK) — Muldur, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu — Ayhan, Ozcan — Guler, Calhanoglu, Yildiz — Yilmaz.
