Muldur own goal sends Netherlands into Euro semis

block

An own goal by Mert Muldur completed a dramatic comeback for the Netherlands on Saturday as they overcame a tenacious Turkiye 2-1 to book a Euro 2024 semi-final meeting with England. The defender bundled the ball into his own net in the 76th minute under pressure from Cody Gakpo as the Dutch bounced back from a poor first-half display to win a bruising clash and complete the final four line-up. Stefan de Vrij had equalized only six minutes earlier after Turkiye went into the break 1-0 up from Samet Akaydin’s 35th- minute header.
