NETHERLANDS 2-3 AUSTRIA: Ronald Koeman's team face an anxious wait to learn their round of 16 opponents at the European Championships after losing their final group game
Ronald Koeman's Netherlands missed out on the chance to top their group at Euro 2024 after a leaky defensive display saw them beaten by Austria in Berlin.
It was former Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer who made the difference at the Olympiastadion. The midfielder scored a late winner as Austria claimed a 3-2 victory, with four of the game's five goals coming in the second half. Going into the final group match, The Oranje were still in with a chance of topping the group after beating Poland and drawing with France. However, they were a goal adrift at the break after Donyell Malen put through his own net.
A topsy-turvy game took another twist when Memphis Depay equalised, temporarily bringing the Netherlands above their opponents in the as-it-stood table. However, Marcel Sabitzer fired home a third for Ralf Rangnick's Austria, who could have made the result even safer had a Michael Gregoritsc effort not been chalked off for offside.The Netherlands, who were eliminated in the round of 16 at Euro 2020, won their first game against Poland after falling behind early on.
