Netherlands Face Turkey in Euro 2024 Quarter-Final Clash
High-Scoring History and Demiral Suspension Set Stage for Exciting Matchup
The Netherlands and Turkey will face off in a highly anticipated Euro 2024 quarter-final match in Berlin. The two teams have a recent history of high-scoring affairs, with their last two encounters producing a combined 13 goals. Turkey emerged victorious in their March 2021 clash with a 4-2 scoreline, while the Netherlands responded with a 6-1 triumph in September 2021. Both matches were played during qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.
Adding to the intrigue of this quarter-final matchup is the suspension of Turkish defender Merih Demiral. Demiral received a two-game ban for his role in an incident during Turkey's Round of 16 victory. His absence will be a significant blow to Turkey's defense, which will face a potent Dutch attack led by Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo.
The Netherlands are the reigning Euro champions, having won the tournament in 2019. They will be looking to continue their dominance and reach the semi-finals. Turkey, on the other hand, will be aiming to upset the odds and advance to the last four for the first time in their history.
The match will be played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Friday, July 14th, 2024. Kick-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM local time (8:00 PM GMT). Follow ESPN for live coverage, highlights, and updated stats throughout the match.
