The Netherlands are ahead 1-0 against Romania in their Euro 2024 Round of 16 clash in Munich, thanks to a goal from Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo.
Despite finishing third in their group behind Austria and France, the Dutch have benefited from landing on the more favorable side of the tournament bracket.
Romania poses a challenging opponent for Ronald Koeman’s squad, but they’ve started strong with Gakpo’s superb strike finding the net just 20 minutes into the match.
This goal marks Gakpo’s third of the tournament, putting him at the top of the goalscorers’ chart alongside Jamal Musiala, Georges Mikautadze, and Ivan Schranz.
With a chance at the Golden Boot, Gakpo’s performance is promising news for Liverpool and their new coach, Arne Slot, ahead of the upcoming season.
After a somewhat disappointing previous season, the 25-year-old’s success at Euro 2024 could provide a significant morale boost as Liverpool prepares for the 2024/25 campaign under new leadership.
Catch the moment: Watch Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo score against Romania in Euro 2024.
