Euro 2024 Group D reaches its conclusion on Tuesday evening as the Netherlands face an Austria side that has so far been one of the tournament’s surprise packages.

SURE ODDS BANNER

Ralf Rangnick’s Austria lost their group opener to France but put in a spirited display that impressed many neutrals, and their 3-1 dismantling of Poland in their next match put them firmly among the competition’s dark horses.

They face a Netherlands side that struggled at times against both Poland and France, though a late Wout Weghorst goal in their opener gave them three points, and they were unlucky to not grab a win against Les Bleus after Xavi Simons’ winner was controversially ruled out.

Those results set up a fascinating clash between the two at the conclusion of Group D, with both still able to win the the group. Follow all the action from Netherlands v Austria below.

Wimmer carries towards goal and space opens up in front of him, but his shot is easily blocked.

Seconds later, the Netherlands win a free-kick in a dangerous area, and Depay delivers, but it’s cleared away easily.

It looks like Ronald Koeman has just had enough of the Netherlands performance up to now. It doesn’t seem like Veerman is injured at all.

Austria win a corner after good work from Arnautovic, and Sabitzer’s shot from range is saved. It bounces back out and Austria chip it back into the Netherlands box – it bounces into the path of Arnautovic, who simply needs to guide it past Verbruggen, but the Dutch ‘keeper saves the initial effort before tangling with Arnautovic and eventually palming the ball away!

Now Patrick Wimmer goes into the book as he catches Geertruida late. Veerman swings it in and it bounces out to Reijnders, who fires a shot well wide.

Ronald Koeman makes a change as Veerman is replaced by Xavi Simons, and there’s a brief water break too.

There’s a brief exchange of words between van Dijk and the referee, before Posch is booked for following through on Depay with a late challenge.

There’s some sustained possession from Austria that ends with Wimmer laying it off to Prass on the edge of the box. He sweeps in the cross but it only falls to Seiwald on the edge of the box, and Austria recycle possession to the centre-backs.

Moments later, Prass launches a long throw that ends with Grillitsch hitting a shot from range straight at the ‘keeper.

Better from Malen as he skips past Prass before winning a corner. Veerman delivers, but it’s headed clear by Posch.

CLOSE! Malen almost makes amends.

Depay lays off the high ball to Reijnders, who threads a perfect through ball into Malen. He’s one-v-one with Pentz, but he scuff his shot and drags it wide of the far post! He really should’ve scored there.

Another Austria attack breaks down at the last as the through ball runs straight to Verbruggen. They have the ball back soon enough though, before Donyell Malen is brought down near halfway.

An intriguing game so far, but hardly an action-packed one.

The ball is cleared to Arnautovic in the middle of the park and he does well to flick it to a supporting midfielder. Austria recycle possession and they get through the Netherlands’ press easily, with Arnautovic then sweeping it wide to Posch, but Austria decide to go backwards once more. Almost 60 per cent possession for Rangnick’s side so far.

The game has turned a little scrappy since the goal, with a number of needless fouls in midfield. Geertruida is the latest culprit.

Austria go long with the diagonal to Prass, but he can’t keep it under control. He’s getting plenty of action down that left side.
