Netherlands Eliminated from UEFA European Championship Semi-Final
First Semi-Final Loss for Oranje
Netherlands Miss Out on Final Berth
The Netherlands national football team has been eliminated from the UEFA European Championship semi-finals after losing to Italy in a penalty shootout. It is the first time the Oranje have failed to reach the final in five semi-final appearances at the tournament.
The match was a close affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net in regulation time. Italy eventually prevailed 4-3 on penalties, with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saving the decisive spot-kick from Luuk de Jong.
The defeat will be a major disappointment for the Netherlands, who were one of the favorites to win the tournament. However, Italy will now face England in the final on Sunday, July 11th.
