A De Vrij header and a Müldür own goal cancelled out Akaydin's opener as the Netherlands fought from behind to seal a 2-1 victory against Turkey.
Turkey have turned more than a few heads at this years Euros with their brand of exciting counterattacking football. They leave Germany with a great deal of pride at where they have managed to finish, with standout players such as Yilmaz and Güler.
Many thought Vincenzo Montella's side could go all the way after an impressive first half performance, but Dutch determination prevailed, with Koeman's Oranje showing more fight in the second half to secure the win and set up a semi final clash against England.
Netherlands
Bart Verbruggen - 7/10
Couldn't keep out the opener but looked solid in the second half, making a great deflected save from a free kick and a massive save in injury time to maintain his team's lead.
Denzel Dumfries - 8/10
Full of energy down the Dutch right hand side. Looked solid with his crossing. Made an excellent block in the second half to keep the score at 2-1.
Stefan de Vrij - 9/10
Good movement and header from a Depay cross to level the scoring. Put on a tremendous defensive display and prevented the danger of Yildiz down the left.
Virgil van Dijk - 7/10
Was tasked with handling the energetic Yilmaz. Didn't make too many mistakes. Was ambitious with his long passing.
Nathan Aké - 6/10
Was solid on the ball but seemed the quietest in the Dutch defence. Replaced midway through the second half.
Jerdy Schouten - 7/10
Played a deeper role in the Dutch midfield. An accurate passer with a 94% overall pass accuracy and was also precise with his long balls.
Tijjani Reijnders - 7/10
Was very solid box to box for the Netherlands but could have potentially done better with his oppurtunities, especially in the first half.
Steven Bergwijn - 6/10
Did well off the ball to link up attacking chances but couldn't produce much himself. Replaced by Weghorst at the start of the second half.
Xavi Simons - 5/10
Was very quiet. Deployed in a free moving attacking midfield but couldn't seem to piece together many oppurtunities. Was booked after a late challenge on Muldur.
Cody Gakpo - 8/10
Was once again solid in attack down the left, and often moving more centrally. Was unlucky in the first half, before a great box run in the second half, bundling the ball into the net via a Turkish own goal to put his team in the lead.
Memphis Depay - 8/10
An enthusiastic showing, pressing well and looking to get on the attack as often as possible. Had some great chances to score early in the first half. Provided the assist for de Vrij to level the score.
Substitutes:
Wout Weghorst - 6/10
Brought on to try and gain a lead. Had some solid oppurtunities but was also hassled by Turkey, being constantly man marked.
Joey Veerman - 6/10
Was accurate and direct with his passing and helped to maintain some energy in midfield to secure the win.
Micky Van de Ven - 7/10
Brought on for Ake and got stuck in. Was relentless in the tackle and made a great clearance off the line to keep his team ahead.
Joshua Zirkzee - n/a
Brought on for his first few minutes of the tournament.
Jeremie Frimpong - n/a
Subbed on late to solidify the Dutch defense and maintain their lead.
Turkey
Mert Günok - 6/10
Was rarely called upon, up until the equalizer. Could have done better to prevent the second. Was put under pressure with some late pressure from the Dutch attack.
Mert Müldür - 5/10
Scored an own goal which secured a win for the Netherlands. Was not as prominent when pushing up into attack. Subbed off late in the second half.
Kaan Ayhan - 7/10
Quietest of the three Turkish CBs but was resolute in defence and helped deal with the threat of Cody Gakpo.
Samet Akaydin - 8/10
Scored his first goal for Turkey with a strong header at the far post. Worked the hardest in the centre of the defence and was often relied upon to keep Weghorst quiet in the second half.
Abdülkerim Bardakci - 7/10
Mostly solid in defence. Unable to deal with the threat of de Vrij who headed in for 1-1.
Ferdi Kadioglu - 8/10
A real standout in this Turkey squad. Extremely positive in attack, always looking to move the ball forward. Helped out with his defensive duties well.
Salih Özcan - 7/10
A solid midfield performance, helping to link up with wide players as well as put in vital blocks to prevent further Dutch goals.
Hakan Calhanoglu - 7/10
Showed tremendous skill from free kick oppurtunities. Needed to get on the ball more and be more decisive going forward.
Arda Güler - 8/10
A joy to watch. Often dropped more centrally and deeper to help move the ball upfield. Most effective down the wings and from corners. Assisted his teams goal with his weaker foot.
Kenan Yildiz - 6/10
Couldn't impact the game much and was hassled by de Vrij whenever he made runs into the box. Subbed off in the second half.
Baris Alper Yilmaz - 9/10
Worked his socks off. Tremendous energy to track back and put in his defensive duties. Showed unbelievable determination in attack and gave Virgil Van Djik a proper challenge all game. Unlucky not to influence things with a goal.
Substitutes:
Okay Yokuslu - 6/10
Was a straight swap in midfield and helped to cut out any Dutch attacks.
Kerem Akturkoglu - 6/10
Was more effective down the left wing. Had a few great oppurtunities to level the scoring late in the match.
Mehmet Zeki Celik - 6/10
Brought on for some defensive coverage as Turkey looked to avoid conceding further.
Cenk Tosun - 7/10
Introduced as a target man number 9. Did well to win headers in the box but couldn't direct his efforts towards goal.
Semih Kilicsoy - n/a
Introduced with only a few minutes remaining in the match.
