That was impressive from the Dutch with their Bundesliga stars firing a deservedly comfortable win. They will head into the quarter-finals with real confidence.

GOAL!! Romania 0-3 Netherlands

It's Malen again! Van Dijk clears a Romania corner, Simons finds Malen, who cuts in from the left and drills a low shot gloriously home for his second, the Netherlands' third!

GOAL!! Romania 0-2 Netherlands

And finally the Dutch get the second goal their play has deserved. Depay picks out the run of Gakpo down the left, he skips around Drăgușin and crosses for Malen to tap home. And the orange-clad fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Les Oranges se mettent enfin à l'abri. Servi par Depay côté gauche, Gakpo efface Dragusin le long de la ligne de but et centre en retrait vers Malen qui finit de près du droit.

Will it ever come?

Gakpo's back heel allows Veerman the chance to shoot at goal - he bends it wide of the far post. And still the Dutch wait for that second goal that surely would put this tie to bed.

Depay goes close

The classy forward very nearly outfoxes the Romanian defence with a free-kick that he strikes low, under their defensive wall - it goes desperately close to making it 2-0.

Marius Marin

Goal ruled out

But it's not going to count - VAR has spotted Gakpo in an offside position. It's still a one-goal game.

63'

GOAL!! Romania 0-2 Netherlands

Depay comes across to take the corner...his delivery is helped on by Malen and Gakpo gobbles up the chance to deservedly double the Dutch lead.

62'

Gakpo again

The Liverpool forward charges upfield from inside his own half, and forces Niță into a good save. It's another Dutch corner.

62'

Who's next?

Whoever wins this one will face either Austria or Türkiye in Berlin in Saturday's quarter-final - those two play later tonight.

58'

Van Dijk off a post

So very nearly 2-0! The Dutch captain meets a corner unchallenged, but pings his header off the woodwork.

54'

Goalmouth scramble

The ball pings about the Romania box and neither Malen nor Depay can squeeze off a meaningful shot as Niță gathers gratefully.

51'

Malen chance

Depay slings over a cross that Malen meets in stride - he can't quite direct his header on target though.

46'

Malen on

Bergwijn makes way for Malen at half-time - he's not had the best of times at the Allianz Arena during his Bundesliga career, and he missed Dortmund's win in Munich with injury last season. The way things are going, today will be a more memorable day for him.

46'

2nd half kicks off

Here we go again in Munich...

Kick-off!

Half-time: Romania 0-1 Netherlands

The Dutch lead at the break, and it could comfortably have been 2-0 or even 3-0. Romania can take consolation from the fact it's not over after just 45 minutes, but on the evidence of that first half, they have a massive mountain to climb to match the Dutch in the second half.

Drăguş chance

Van Dijk gives the ball away cheaply. Drăguş can get a shot away from the end of the box, but it's straight at Verbruggen. That was comfortable enough

Half-time

45'

Good omens

The Dutch have won all but one of 11 EURO knockout stage matches in which they have led at half-time.

44'

Simons chance

Substitute Racovitan is robbed of the ball by Dumfries, who sends over a cross. The ball comes to Simons, but with traffic in front of him, he can only send a weak shot wide

44'

Netherlands 10 Romania 0

Not the scoreline, but the number of corners so far in the game...it tells you all you need to know about how much the Dutch have dominated.

40'

Xavi entertaining

Leipzig fans have seen a lot of good things from Xavi Simons in the season he's been at the Red Bull Arena - he's now entertaining everyone here, clipping a rabona shot goal wards. It's cleared, but he's clearly oozing confidence right now.

39'

From bad to worse...

Mogoș is forced off after a muscular challenge from Dumfries - the Dutch defender was fortunate to escape a booking for that tackle, and it's forced a change already for Romania.

38'

Bogdan Racovitan

Vasile Mogos

33'

Drăgușin to the rescue

It's a brilliant goal-saving tackle from Drăgușin that denies Depay a tap-in after Dumfries' burst forward had ruined the Romanian backline. Iordănescu's team are barely hanging on in there.

Dutch domination

Ronald Koeman's side have the match completely in hand - Romania have no answer to the individual quality De Oranje are showing right now.

27'

De Vrij close to number 2

Another Depay corner comes in from the left, De Vrij gets his head to it, but only finds the side-netting. That was a great chance for a second.

24'

Gakpo level with Musiala

The Netherlands forward now has three goals in the tournament, just like Jamal Musiala (Germany), Georges Mikautadze (Georgia) and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia).

GOAL!! Romania 0-1 Netherlands

Having failed to take advantage of their strong start, Romania are punished. The Dutch had turned up the tempo a touch in the previous five minutes, and after a string of Depay corners, Gakpo gives them the lead in Munich, firing home after being picked out on the left by Simons. And now the noise is all from those in orange.

20'

Cody Gakpo

GOAL!

0:1

14'

Man up!

And Romania's right-sided midfielder does, bending a shot towards the top corner that only just narrowly flies beyond the target. Cue the noise from the stands going up a notch or seven.

13'

Romania in control

Backed by 25,000 very boisterous fans, Romania have had the better start, but they're yet to significantly trouble Verbruggen in the Dutch goal.

10'

Hagi back on

Romanian football legend Gheorghe Hagi will be relieved to see his son back on the pitch - Ianis has his head bandaged though.

Simons sets the tone

The RB Leipzig starlet smacks one goalwards from distance - it was well struck but straight at Niță.

Hagi injured

Hagi is left with a bleeding head wound after a clash with Dumfries. Romania will be hoping he can continue.

1st half kicks off

We are underway in Munich. The Dutch kick off.

Kick-off!

Malen misses out...for now

Bergwijn has not yet featured in the tournament, but starts in place of Malen today, so the Dortmund striker will watch the initial proceedings from the bench.

Netherlands line-up

Verbruggen - Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk (c), Aké - Schouten, Simons, Reijnders - Bergwijn, Depay, Gakpo

Romania line-up

Niță - Rațiu, Drăgușin, Burcă, Mogoș - M Marin - Man, Stanciu (c), R Marin, Hagi - Drăguș

Bayern's Dutch delight

No shortage of orange shirts bearing familiar names of the past. Arjen Robben won eight Bundesliga titles in a decade at Bayern (2009-2019), Roy Makaay and Mark van Bommel, who captained Bayern on many occasions, are other notable Dutch players who made their mark at the record German champions.

Hair-raising

Expect Romania's Andrei Rațiu to stand out in more ways than one. "Every summer I change my hair colour," the man now nicknamed 'Sonic' told UEFA's official website. "Now I just wanted to do something different."

Dutch set-up

Expect the Netherlands to play 4-3-3 with Leipzig's Xavi Simons the man pulling the creative strings.

THAT volley

For anyone wondering why the Dutch fans would be making a pilgrimage to Bayern's former home, Munich's Olympic stadium, just search for 'Netherlands', 'Van Basten', 'EURO 88' and enjoy a football genius at work...you're welcome.

2:21

Xavi Simons watch

The 21-year-old attacker spent last season on loan at Leipzig and he was a player not to miss in what was an especially exciting Bundesliga campaign. The Dutch schemer weighed in with 19 goal involvements (eight goals, 11 assists) in 32 appearances for Marco Rose's men in 2023/24.

Romanian talent

While the Netherlands advanced to this stage as one of the best third-placed teams, Romania were winners of Group E, a section that also contained Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine.

Tale of the tape

The Netherlands boast the better record between these sides having won 10 of the teams' 14 meetings.

Familiar faces

Romania may not feature any Bundesliga players but the Dutch squad is a who's who of German top-flight talent. Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt, Donyell Malen of Borussia Dortmund and Wout Weghorst, who spent last season on loan at Hoffenheim, are all on board, as is Ian Maatsen, who played 16 Bundesliga games for Bayer Leverkusen in 2023/24.

Welcome one and all!

It's the last day of what has so far been a thrilling Round of 16 so far and we've got one more fascinating game for you: Romania against the Netherlands.
