Cody Gakpo scored again to propel the Netherlands into the semifinals of the European Championship with a 2-1 comeback victory over Turkey on Saturday.
Gakpo netted his fourth goal of the tournament in the 76th minute, shortly after Stefan De Vrij equalized following Samet Akaydin’s first-half header for Turkey in the last of the quarterfinals.
The Netherlands is set to face England in the second semifinal in Dortmund on Wednesday, while Spain will take on France in the first semifinal on Tuesday.
Turkey played without defender Merih Demiral, who was suspended for two matches by UEFA for making a nationalistic hand gesture after scoring in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Austria. The gesture is linked to Turkish nationalism and an ultra-nationalist group.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the game, having altered his plans due to the diplomatic dispute with Germany over Demiral’s gesture.
