Round-upEuro 2024: Cody Gakpo scores for Netherlands as two more groups conclude
The Liverpool forward netted early in the second half for his country – who were captained by Virgil van Dijk, with Ryan Gravenberch an unused substitute – as they were defeated 3-2 by Austria in Berlin.
The Dutch fell behind in the sixth minute of the Group D clash as a result of a Donyell Malen own goal, but Gakpo brought them level with his second strike at the tournament.
He collected a pass to the left of the box, stepped inside a defender and curled an assured finish into the opposite corner of the net.
Austria regained the lead just shy of the hour mark, however, as Romano Schmid met a cross with a header that went in via Stefan de Vrij.
The Netherlands restored parity for a second time in the game when Memphis Depay controlled a knockdown and looped the ball home.
But Austria then found a winner, with Marcel Sabitzer thumping in from a narrow angle – a goal that gained his nation top spot in the section and consigned the Dutch to third place.
Elsewhere in the same group, Reds defender Ibrahima Konate was an unused substitute for France as they drew 1-1 with Poland in Dortmund, where Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski each scored penalties.
France finished in second spot and therefore know they will face the to-be-confirmed Group E runners-up on July 1.
As a best third-placed finisher, meanwhile, the Netherlands must now wait to discover their opponents in the last 16.
Later in the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold was an 84th-minute introduction for England, who drew 0-0 with Slovenia in Cologne.
The Three Lions – for whom Joe Gomez was on the bench – ended Group C in first position and will face a third-placed team in the knockout phase on Sunday afternoon.
