Second-half goals from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Robin van Persieended Romania"s hopes of a quarter-final place in Berne as the Netherlands rounded off an impressive Group C campaign with a third successive victory ( 17/06/2008).

Netherlands on top
Romania knew three points would ensure they joined their opponents in the last eight, but Victor Piţurcă"s side were always on the back foot and Huntelaar, having passed up one presentable opening in the first half, clinically guided in Ibrahim Afellay"s teasing right-wing cross nine minutes into the second. The win was sealed for a largely second-string
Oranje team with three minutes left as Van Persie drove in his second
goal in as many games.
