netherlands had big heart in euros comeback against turkey

Two goals inside seven minutes helped the Dutch defeat Turkey in a tight quarter-final clash in Berlin and set up a final-four date with England on Wednesday.

Stefan de Vrij headed home an equaliser in the 70th minute after Samet Akaydin sent Turkey ahead, before Murt Muldurs own goal six minutes later handed Netherlands the victory.

I think for the whole nation its something special, were a small nation and were in the semis with England, France and Spain, and were really proud, Koeman told reporters.

We had to suffer tonight, but thats the same across the whole Euros, they gave everything, it was a really emotional match.

Turkey fans dominated in the stands given their large diaspora in Germany but the Dutch survived the flares and piercing whistles to scrape through.
