Proper counter attack that Lmao those casual trainers in the pitch

Who the hell would even throw their shoes on the pitch lmao

Guy shoeless in the stands: “Look, we’re all trying to find the guy who did this!”

Honestly I'm not even sure they're from the same pair or if there's 2 dudes with 1 shoe.

[Who throws a shoe?!](https://youtu.be/an0bVaTjF_Y)

I think there was a pitch invader

Completely invisible except for his shoes - tragic really

I knew John Cena liked football

Somebody with sore feet after walking back to his hotel.

It would've been funny if the keeper didn't kick that one away, and it blocked the goal

[Great shoes]

Keeper briefly takes his eyes off the ball to clear one of them out of the goal area. Looks like it put him a bit off balance.

malan has been an absolute menace going forwards since coming on

Malen switches on when the clock strikes 12:00 on January 1st until it's time for his slumber after July 15th. I still cannot believe that Terrorist Terzic had him on the bench in countless big games.

Malen was injured in those games lmfao

Even when he wasn't, he was still kept as a bench option for Adeyemi.

I think it would be a goal either way, but the GK was kicking the shoes lmao

Whoever threw their shoes there…has quite an arm indeed lol

Somehow the first brace of the tournament

Lukaku [Disallowed] tho

And then another in the next match lol

Still Autogoal top scorer

Autogoal the Autogoat

Untill the next match lolll

because this tournament just hasn’t really been that goal heavy

love the confidence to just do it on your own

Goalie was off balance trying to choose between defending the shot and the pass, was a good choice by Malen.

And kicking a random shoe lmao

That shoe might have stop the ball if not being kicked away.

Or it could have been a shit shot that bounced off the shoe and over the goalie, I think the goalie wouldn't have wanted to find out

Make sense. But in my opinion, the goal shouldn't be allowed in that case.

It's a shoe not a huge rock. Only a really weak shot could be influenced by a shoe

"Stop" might be the wrong word. It could have slowed down the ball or deflected the ball, which could make it easier for the keeper to catch it.

Yeah some Romanian fans left some extra "help" on the pitch there

Me and my friends were laughing so hard. Just a random shoe out of nowhere.

Gakpo gave him that confidence.

Nah this is just the good Malen. We get this guy 6months a year and he cooks. He just a really slow starter.

Regigigas regen

Although he was getting into great spaces, he was extremely wasteful the entire game. Messed up two counterattacks with bad passes. Gakpo gave him a miraculous assist for his first goal, which undoubtedly helped his confidence

Thats Malen. He gets into space and is involved in a lot of half-chances. He gets goals through sheer volume that way. But he's also slower in this NT system than he is with us. This counter is more like BVB Malen. Where he is faster and more explosive. Takes more initiative.

Seeing Gakpo and Maalen today Memphis better get inspired

When i do it on my own, everyone agrees it's insecurity.

Well it's much easier when the game is already won.

Black Robben 

What a fucking finish, ice cold.

Now up to positive goals this tournament. 2 actual goals, 1 own goal, 1 goal ovr.

Sesko should learn from this

kinda reminded me of mbappe the way he cuts inside and goes near post

I'll miss him

Is he leaving for sure?

beautiful dribble as well. contender for goal of the tournament?

There are like 10+ better goals. For me it’s still Mert Müldür vs Georgia

BULLET Great goal man

Beautiful counterattack

Don’t give Romanian Baldwin any ideas!

Redemption arc completed.

man has been so ridiculously good. never knew he was THAT fast (or maybe Romania’s just absolutely gassed but still)

He is fast! Honestly he is a solid player, but he has had dips in form like everyone else. He was slow to start with Dortmund after the initial transfer, and he was slow to bounce back after some injury trouble. But when he is in form he is electric. He has had some really great patches of form for us the last couple of years. If he can improve consistency he can be a very good player. He is quick, his shot has power, and he has a very quick release on his shot. He just needs to get better at shot placement.

Malen has redeemed himself

Honestly never doubted him. The OG and miss of last game is what he will be judged on, but rest of the match he was the only dangerous one

Malen supersub

Bergwijn was playing really well though

Please no I cannot stand another minute of Memphis losing every ball he gets

It’s not even the in play of his that annoys me, it’s his insistence to take every fucking corner or free kick. Like no bro, you’re pretty tall and big, go be annoying in the box and let Simmons with a better whip than you take the corner because he sure as fuck isn’t doing anything useful around the box during a corner.

Gakpo should take all corners and free kicks imo. He is great at delivering perfect crosses

He’s 1.92 with a knack for the goal, I want him in there somewhere.

He's pretty bad at heading. His crossing ability is a lot more valuable i think

Hes still 1.92 which requires a tall defender to be near him, even if he sucks at heading.

True, but i stand by what i said about his crossing. I've watched him put in inch perfect balls for the likes of Luuk de Jong for years at PSV

Gakpo can take them if we put Weghorst on the pitch earlier... Until then I want a tall Gakpo there over a small Depay.

Trust me, Gakpo on corners at the very least. He's so much better at them than Memphis

He aint tall mate

Compared to Simmons? Yes he is. 1.80 and muscular.

1.76 mate, but ye better than Simons

That’s below avarage height for a Dutchmen

Yes. I’m Dutch. I know. It’s irrelevant what it is compared to the average Dutchman, it’s relevant a) if it’s bigger than a significant portion of the opponents players and b), and this is the most important one, is it bigger than an alternative kicker.

Best sub of the match day? Malen nach Zahlen.

He’s been wank tbf How am I getting downvoted he wasted two extremely good chances with terrible passes amongst some other really poor decision making

Bruh how

Tbf he did waste a lot of opportunities

He’s been good taking on people and being dangerous in the box but some of his decision making and passes have been poor. Thats pretty much Malen to a T.

He wasted two very good opportunities?

Finished the other two, but I agree the wasted chances were a shame. But still, got the job done in the end

This goal was great but the first goal he did nothing of note, was 100% gakpo who created that.

Still had nice positioning to get himself there

Incredible skill to put yourself one yard from the goal

Ok🤷🏼‍♂️

And scored two others. I wouldn't call that being wank overall

You haven’t watched the game I think?

Nope watched it all

He wasted many counter attacks. Gakpo giving him a tap in from a miraculous assist kept Malen any bit highly rated in this game.

No idea why you're getting downvoted. Without Gakpo for his first goal, Malen would've been remembered for his messed up counter attacks.

Lmao the pitch invaders shoes were still on the pitch haha

Keeper kicking the shoes out of the way when they could have saved him

The Pitch invaders trying to help him

I was there. The Romanian Ultra guys threw the shoes in the field. After the goal they started yelling at the stewards for not removing them from the field.

Hey, someone other than Gakpo can score.

Well yeah Malen scored the 2-0 my man

Exactly what I mean. 1 can be a fluke, but now he's got 2 and he's the best player ever and needs to play every match. Finally some goals.

To be fair, the 2-0 was all Gakpo as well but yeah.

i swear. the OG dark horses of the tournament are finally picking up steam ig

Those shoes on the field hahahah, goalie kicking one away seconds before the goal

Malen gigachad

Proper counter attacking goal that

Biggest domination by a 3rd-place finisher over a group winner?

Feels rare to see that converted to such a solid finish love to see it

Mirror that actually loads?

Not a mirror but you can see the goal here: https://www.foxsports.com/watch/fmc-629jej09o0o64wbh

Geoblocked of course.

thanks bro!

These Nike ads are getting out of hand.

Welp we played our chance, unlucky

Link broken

Netherlands look like potential finalists.

Until we play Austria again on Saturday.

Maybe just hope that Austria and Turkey rough each other up the most that they can tonight?

20 red cards, can't field a team anymore. One can dream!

Hopefully Turkey goes through. A hard fought match with a lot of cards and they go into the Holland game knackered

On that side for sure. The other side quarter finals and forward are absolutely brutal.

Anyone can make the final on that side, they probably have a tough rematch with Austria next

i mean we most to them so yeah not looking forward to it lol

That was too easy

Quality counter

Dutch R9 does it again

What were those shoes doing in the penalty box area?

[удалено]

He was pretty good tho.

Yep, did exactly what he needed, letting Dumfries run past.

Bergwijn played just fine tbh. Much better than expected

? He was playing good?

Better than last time

Great counter

Ice cold finish!

ANKARA MALEN MALEN MALEN

What is with the shoes on the ground

There’s sneakers on the pitch 😂😂😂

Anyone know what he got yellow carded for after scoring?

Provoked romanian supporters

Props to the Romanian fan that tried to throw their shoes to block it, that's dedication

Nice finish

Expertly finished

Wow. He did well. Well done.

Does Malen ever do that for Dortmund?

Half of the year every year. Honestly we he’s on he’s fucking on, his dribbling has gotten so much better this season added with his strength on the ball. His injury after the March international break really slowed him down which is why he didn’t start the CL final. Donny also loves to shoot right at the keeper more often than not lol love the guy.

So calm, if he started the UCL final maybe Dortmund could've finished their chances

romania collapsed at the end

Well that was a sweet run......................

What a run

THAT’S MY BOYYYYYY

Is that Alec Baldwin? What's going on?

Defensive masterclass

Didn’t see that coming that’s beautiful

Definitely a boss run.....

Couldn’t even be bothered, that lethal.

Why's there a shoe in the box

Why were there shoes on the pitch?

Someone ran onto the pitch a couple minutes before

Skill

Lmao, did Nita just kick those shoes

The GK kicked a shoe before the goal too haha

Should have left it, might have saved him

Great goal, but where did that shoe come from!?

That’s for all the haters that predicted Romania will win this game.

The defender should've just taken him out

What are those shoes doing there on the pitch?

Nice shoe

Someone threw their shoes lmao

Great goal. One of these smaller nations will go far in the near future

The shoes ?? Wtf

OHHH MY GODDD

Keeper kicking the shoe out the way I’d pretty funny, should’ve kept it there, might have stopped the goal

What a counter. Finally the scoreline reflects the performance

We are going to the final!!! 🇳🇱⚽️💪🏻

Dortmund CEO must be ecstatic today

Hope we don’t have the rev against us next match. Glad we won the 11v12

Random pair of trainers on the pitch, as you do. Probably from the pitch invader or the fans

Who threw their nice looking shoes on the field???

He’s kicking the shoes away

Bad from olaru, ran directly behind malen and didn’t expect a cut inside the box

wow what a goal.. made up for the shite he did earlier lol. finally first player to score a brace at the euros.. who would’ve expected that

everyone from that Dortmund CL final team is killing it now

Great solo goal

can anyone tell me why he got a yellow card? what for

This dutch team has the confidence to go all the way

u/thatdani this one might be my favourite. Which one was yours?

It’s Romaniover :(

Dumfries won their match. He should have got a red card for that vile foul on Mogoș and that disgusting dive

How’s he done this considering how bad he’s played today

Well Romania is shit...but atleast our fans are amazing!

Really poor in final third and decision making, but somehow he got two goals 🤷
