Final result: Romania-Netherlands 0-3
ROMANIA
Nita 5.5 – Reviewable on Gakpo’s goal, vito who is beaten on his post. Better in the second half, but that half mistake remains that affects the final result.
Ratio 5 – A match of great suffering, having to face a Gakpo against whom he lost several duels including the one in the action of 0-1.
Dragusin 5 – At the start he makes his presence felt with some closures thanks to which he tries to limit the damage, but then he noticeably drops and is overtaken in the action that closes the match.
Burka 5.5 – In difficulty in several circumstances, both in dealing with Dutch actions and on set pieces. Better than Dragusin anyway.
Mogos 6 – His match lasts just over 30 minutes, then he has to throw in the towel after a fortuitous clash with Dumfries in which he gets the worst of it. From 38′ Racovitan 5 – Disastrous impact on the match, as it was consistently penetrated in the final part of the first half but also afterwards.
M. Marin 5,5 – He should act as a screen in front of the defense, but he doesn’t succeed in his intent as he would like. From 71′ Cicaldau 5.5 – He enters with the result compromised, it is difficult for him to make an impact.
Man 5.5 – Among the best at the start, also going to the conclusion. As the minutes pass, he declines along with the rest of the team.
Stanciu 5.5 – He floats between midfield and the three-quarter line, without making an impact in the finishing phase. He does not improve after the interval. From 88′ Olaru sv.
R. Marin 5 – Some good advice for the teammates in the offensive zone, but everyone focused on Romania’s lively start.
Hagi 5 – Not a great game in terms of pushing forward on the left. Not much better in containing the inexhaustible Dumfries. From 71′ Michael 5.5 – He should bring a twist to the attack, but he is unable to do what the coach chose him to do.
Dragus 5 – Little served by his teammates, he has a tough time against the Dutch defenders. From 71′ Alibec 5.5 – With his entrance on the field, things do not improve in the final meters.
Edward Iordanescu 5 – The start of the match is promising, but his team fades away immediately after Gakpo’s goal. The team is confused and always at the mercy of their inspired Dutch opponents.
HOLLAND
Verbruggen 6 – First half of the game with very few interventions. He has to make even fewer in the second half.
Dumfries 6.5 – Inexhaustible on the right lane, where he gallops, even entering the opponent’s area and crossing many inviting balls for his teammates.
The White 6 – Solid in protecting his area and dangerous in the opponent’s. In the first half, from a corner, he almost doubled the lead with his head.
Van Dijk 6 – He was not called upon to make complicated closures, playing a sufficient game overall. In the second half, he hit the post following a corner.
Ake 6 – He starts with some difficulty, improving as the contest progresses in terms of solidity given in his area. From 69′ From the Wind 6 – Detect your partner as best as possible by increasing your push a little on that side.
Shouten 6.5 – Lots of substance in the middle of the field, where he is rarely beaten by opponents. From 69′ Veerman 6 – He enters the pitch with a good attitude, immediately going close to the net.
Reijnders 6.5 – He keeps his team going, with constant and precise suggestions for his teammates. More enterprising since the break.
Bergwijn 6 – He often lets Dumfries push on his side, coming inside the field. His performance, positive for what he did, lasts a half. From 46′ Male 7.5 – He enters as best he can, closing the match with a splendid brace.
Simons 7 – The advanced playmaker of the Netherlands, who lights up the play of Koeman’s team with illuminating passes and also shoots several times.
Gakpo 7.5 – After a difficult first quarter of an hour, he suddenly lights up and unlocks the match with a right-footed shot on the post by Nita. Certainly one of the best, with also the assist for the 0-2 by Malen. From 84′ Weghorst sv.
Depay 5.5 – He moves all over the offensive front, but doesn’t have any big chances in the first half of the game. He has one at the beginning of the second half, but he misses it. Not a great afternoon for him. From 92′ Blind sv.
Ronald Koeman 7 – Clearly the best performance of the European Championship. His Holland punishes almost at the first attack, controls the game and in the end increases the gap with the opponent giving a better idea of his superiority.
