Romania player ratings vs. Netherlands: Tough day all round

GOALKEEPER

Florian Nita - 5/10

Would have been disappointed not to keep Gakpo out in the first half. Slightly redeemed himself with a strong stop to deny the Liverpool forward in the second period.

DEFENCE

Andrei Ratiu - 6/10

Also has to take some blame for the first goal as he failed to stop Gakpo from cutting inside onto his favoured right foot.

Radu Dragusin - 7/10

Strong display from the Tottenham defender. Did not deserve to be on the end of a three-goal thrashing.

Andrei Burca - 6/10

Failed to win any of his duels, but managed to offer valuable support to his centre-back partner.

Vasile Mogos - 4/10

The Dutch were keen to target his side, before his outing was cut short in the 38th minute after taking a heavy blow.

MIDFIELD

Dennis Man - 5/10

Failed to have a meaningful impact on the contest. Touched the ball on just 31 occasions, with only two of those taking place in the Dutch box.

Nicolae Stanciu - 6/10

The skipper created a couple of opportunities for his side, but he could not find the key to unlock the Dutch defence.

Marius Marin - 5/10

Tough outing in the defensive midfield role. Committed a number of fouls and won just two of his five ground duels.

Razvan Marin - 6/10

Offered one of Romania's main attacking threats, but his three passes into the final third failed to lead to anything meaningful.

Ianis Hagi - 6/10

Like Man on the opposite flank, Hagi also struggled to get hold of the ball, mustering 26 touches before he was withdrawn in the 72nd minute.

ATTACK

Denis Dragus - 6/10

Showed great work rat but was ultimately offered very little service. Failed to make the most of Romania's only shot on target.

SUBSTITUTES

Bogdan Racovitan - 6/10

Produced a steady display after coming off the bench to replace the injured Mogos in the first half.

Denis Alibec - 5/10

Saw very little of the ball but won a couple of free-kicks.

Valentin Mihaila - 5/10

Was one of the attacking substitutes introduced by Edward Iordanescu. Never looked like affecting proceedings.

Alexandru Cicaldau - 5/10

Experienced a tough time like his fellow substitutes.

Netherlands player ratings vs. Romania: Gakpo, Malen play starring roles

GOALKEEPER

Bart Verbruggen - 6/10

Made just one save and was a mere spectator for the majority of the contest.

DEFENCE

Denzel Dumfries - 7/10

Produced a strong defensive display to win nine of his 11 duels. Could of had an assist when he cut the ball back to Simons, who took too long to unleash a shot.

Stefan de Vrij - 7/10

Sent his header into the side netting shortly after Gakpo had scored the opener. Did what he had to do when called upon.

Virgil van Dijk - 7/10

Produced a strong performance to marshal the Dutch backline. Nearly grabbed a goal when he headed against the post from a corner.

Nathan Ake - 6/10

Put in a dependable display until he was withdrawn in the 69th minute.

MIDFIELD

Jerdy Schouten - 7/10

His pass kickstarted the move for the Netherlands' first goal. Also offered a useful contribution out of possession.

Xavi Simons - 7/10

Grabbed two assists - for the first and third goal - and provided a constant threat with his driving runs and nimble footwork.

Tijjani Reijnders - 7/10

Completed 69 of his 72 passes to keep things ticking over in the middle of the park.

ATTACK

Steven Bergwijn - 4/10

Failed to make a real impression in his first appearance of the tournament. Gave way for Malen at half time.

Cody Gakpo - 9/10

Scored a sublime goal to give the Netherlands a crucial lead, before he saw a potential second chalked off for offside. Went on to tee up Malen in the 83rd minute.

Memphis Depay - 7/10

Showed flashes of his undoubted talent to create five chances in the contest.

SUBSTITUTES

Donyell Malen - 8/10

Made his case to be recalled for the quarter-final. Was in the right place at the right time to score his first, before he raced from the halfway line to complete his brace with a sensational effort in stoppage time.

Micky van de Ven - 6/10

Had little to do after replacing Ake.

Joey Veerman - 6/10

Threatened to score, but guided his strike just wide of the far post.

Wout Weghorst - N/A

Daley Blind - N/A
