Euro 2024 Netherlands vs Austria Football LIVE SCORE, UEFA European Football Championship Scoreboard Live Streaming Updates Online

The Netherlands aim to secure a single point to guarantee their place in the knockout stages as they face Austria in their final Group D match of UEFA Euro 2024 at Berlin’s Olympiastadion on Tuesday, June 25. This match is crucial for the Dutch, who are currently second in the group, trailing France, with four points. They began the tournament with a 2-1 win over Poland and followed up with an impressive 0-0 draw against France. Qualification would mark the Netherlands’ eighth appearance in the knockouts in their last nine European Championship participations.

Xavi Simons, subbed on in the 69th minute, nearly secured a victory against France with a superb shot into the bottom corner, only for VAR to disallow it for offside. The decision has been controversial, as Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries was deemed to have interfered with Maignan’s dive. Some experts argue Dumfries wasn’t obstructing Maignan’s view and didn’t influence the play, while others believe his presence was distracting enough for the goalkeeper.

Ronald Koeman’s squad is well-positioned to advance to the last 16. A draw against Austria will ensure their progression. Should they win and France draw with Poland, they will finish at the top of the group. A draw, with a French win, will secure them a top-two finish. Even with a loss, the Netherlands will still advance as a third-placed team.

The Netherlands have enjoyed an impressive unbeaten run in group-stage matches at major tournaments since the 2014 World Cup, winning nine of 11 and scoring in all but Friday’s goalless draw with France. Austria, without a victory against the Netherlands since 1990, will advance to the last 16 if they manage to end this long-standing drought on Tuesday evening.

Should Austria win and France fail to secure a victory, Austria will top the group with maximum points. If Austria draws and France loses, Austria will finish third in the group. Even a single point could be sufficient for Austria to reach the European Championship knockout rounds as a third-placed team, ensuring their participation in consecutive European Championship knockout stages.
