Netherlands rally past Turkey to set up Euro semi with England

An own goal by Mert Müldür completed a Netherlands comeback as they beat Turkey 2-1 on Saturday to book a Euro 2024 semifinal meeting with England in Dortmund.

Turkey took the lead in the 35th minute after the Dutch failed to clear a corner, leaving Arda Güler to cross perfectly to the back post with his right foot for defender Samet Akaydin to head home.

Guler went close to adding a second early in the second half when he hit the post with a free kick, and it was to prove a costly miss when Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij equalised with a powerful header in the 70th minute.
