    Donyell Malen of the Netherlands celebrates after his goal to make it 2-0.

    It only took 20 minutes for the Netherlands to take a 1-0 lead against Romania in their Euro Round of 16 match Tuesday afternoon.

    Dutch striker Cody Gakpo took the ball down the left wing and cut across into the penalty box before firing a rocket of a shot into the top of Romanian goalkeeper Florin Nita's net.

    Gakpo also supplied the clutch assist on teammate Donyell Malen's 83rd-minute goal, putting the Dutch up 2-0 late, by just keeping the ball from going out of play before delivering it right in front of the net.

    In a stoppage-time breakaway, Malen tacked on a third goal for good measure, cementing the Dutch victory and Romanian disappointment in Munich.

    The Netherlands now advance to the Euro quarterfinals to face the winner of Austria and Turkey, which will kick off later Tuesday afternoon.
