Netherlands are through to the last 16 at Euro2020 after Memphis Depay's penalty set up a 2-0 win over Austria ⚽ 💥
Netherlands' Memphis Depay celebrates scoring their first goal during the UEFA EURO 2020 Group C football match between the Netherlands and Austria at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on June 17, 2021. Memphis Depay and Denzel Dumfries scored a goal in each half as the Dutch comfortably beat Austria 2-0 on Thursday to advance to the round of 16 at the European Championship.
“We showed some different qualities today," Netherlands coach Frank de Boer said. "Defensively we were much better than Ukraine.” Depay sent a penalty kick low into the corner in the 11th minute for his 27th goal in 66 international matches. Dumfries then scored his second goal of the tournament – following his late winner against Ukraine – in the 67th after an unselfish pass from PSV Eindhoven teammate Donyell Malen.
A foul by Austria captain David Alaba on Dumfries earned the Dutch penalty at the Johan Cruyff Arena, although only after referee Orel Grinfeeld had a second look at the incident on a screen. Dumfries, a wing back who has played a role in all five Netherlands goals at the tournament, was asked after the match if his tournament was beginning to resemble a boyhood dream.
