Netherlands fight back to see off Turkey and set up semi-final against England
The Netherlands stand between England and a place in next Sunday’s final after a pulsating, dramatic comeback win that was sealed by a superb late save from Bart Verbruggen. His stop from Semih Kilicsoy meant a goal that Cody Gakpo will hope to claim, which followed an equaliser by Stefan de Vrij, proved to be the winner on a night of sizzling noise and tension.
Samet Akaydin had given Turkey a first-half lead and for a long period it seemed that might see them to victory in front of their watching president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was watching amid the controversy that followed Merih Demiral’s high-profile suspension.
