Euro | Malen’s prodigious own goal with the Netherlands

Did you think Kylian Mbappé was going to finish as top scorer in the Euro? Or even Cristiano Ronaldo? It was too quickly to forget the immense CSC. Episode 7: Donyell Malen.

The last day of Group D certainly pitted France against Poland, but also, and above all, Austria against the Netherlands. A Verstappenico in all its splendor. And an equally beautiful CSC.

Donyell’s very Malen CSC

If the match between the Blues and Poland takes time, even a lot of time, to settle, it only takes 5 minutes in the other match for the panache to take place. On a particularly innocuous cross from Austria, Donyell Malen makes a sublime attacking tackle to cut off the trajectory. The recovery catches the goalkeeper on the wrong foot, and the ball skims the inside of the post. A real goal-scoring move. But one detail must be taken into consideration; Donyell Malen is Dutch. The story suddenly takes a completely different turn.

Thanks to Malen, this is the seventh goal against his camp since the start of this Euro. The best scorer in the competition, by far. Finally, just ahead of the three goals denied to Lukaku for offside.
