The Netherlands were far superior to Romania throughout the game and, with a great night from Hakpo and Mullen, they won 3-0 and qualified for the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of the Austria-Turkey tie.
“Oranie” started the game very strong and took the lead on the scoreboard in the 20th minute. Hakpo, after a great individual effort on the left, kicked hard and sent it into the net.
Koeman’s team had total control, were not threatened and missed many opportunities to… clear the match early. Which they did in the 83rd minute, when Hakpo made a great effort on the line, turned it over to Mullen and made it 2-0.
Once again Mullen, with individual energy and a beautiful finish, made it 3-0 in injury time.
