Portugal vs Netherlands UEFA Euros Tournament History

Portugal and Holland have both won the UEFA European Championship on one occasion, but arguably, both nations would have felt their form in the tournament would have warranted at least another triumph.

The Portuguese secured their first, and to date only, European Championship title in 2016 when they beat France 1-0 in Paris, with forward Eder scoring one of the best final goals ever.

Portugal had previously fallen to the French in the Semi-Finals in both 1984 and 2000 and, at Euro 2004, lost the final of the tournament in Lisbon to an over-performing Greek side.

Having finished third in their UEFA European Championship finals debut in 1976 and a poor group stage elimination in 1980, a much improved Dutch side roared to a superb triumph in Germany in 1988.

The side available to Netherlands manager Rinus Michels included stellar performers such as Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, and Frank Rijkaard, all of whom performed fantastically well to recover from an early group stage loss to the Soviet Union.

A Marco van Basten hat-trick saw Holland defeat England 3-1, and Wim Kieft scored a late winner to defeat the Republic of Ireland to secure qualification for the knockout phase.

Ronald Koeman and Van Basten then netted to complete an impressive comeback win over West Germany in the Semi-Finals to set up a European Championship Final with the Soviet Union. This time, the Netherlands triumphed thanks to a Gullit header in the first half and then a famous volley from Van Basten to complete a 2-0 victory in Munich.

In 1992, 2000, and 2004, the Dutch got to the Semi-Finals, losing to Denmark, Italy and Portugal, respectively.

In more recent tournaments, the Netherlands haven’t been as consistent as they would have hoped, and the Oranje will be looking to improve on this ahead of this clash with Portugal.

Portugal vs Netherlands Head-to-Head

Portugal and the Netherlands met for the first time in the UEFA European Championship finals in 2004. On this occasion, their Semi-Final clash in Lisbon was an explosive encounter.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Maniche put Portugal two goals up just before the hour when Jorge Andrade’s own goal gave the Dutch hope, but the Portuguese held on to secure a final berth.

At Euro 2012, the two teams were drawn into the same group stage, and two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal to recover from an early Rafael Van der Vaart opener for the Dutch. This led to Holland being eliminated as Portugal progressed to the next phase.

Perhaps the most infamous clash between these two came in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In that match, which ended in a 1-0 win for Portugal, the ‘Battle of Nuremberg’ saw the two teams break the record for most red cards in a World Cup match, with four players ordered off as well as 16 yellow cards shown.
