Netherlands thrashed Sweden 5-1

In the early hours of June 21st, coach Ronald Koeman's team shone against Sweden in their second match of Group F.

Houston Stadium will be the focal point of Group F at the 2026 World Cup . Both teams have a chance to take the top spot in the group if they win after their strong performances in the opening match.

The Netherlands entered the match with a touch of regret after dropping points against Japan. Ronald Koeman's team had led 2-1 in the final minutes but ultimately had to settle for a 2-2 draw. This draw meant the "Oranje" needed to secure three points against Sweden to avoid a difficult situation ahead of their final matchday.

Despite not having a perfect start, the Netherlands have boasted an impressive run of form at the World Cup. Since their defeat in the 2010 final against Spain, they have gone 13 consecutive matches unbeaten in the tournament (excluding penalty shootouts), with 8 wins and 5 draws. Koeman's team is aiming to set a new milestone in the national team's history.

Meanwhile, Sweden made a spectacular debut, thrashing Tunisia 5-1. Their explosive attack gave the Nordic team their strongest start at the World Cup in decades, as they aim to win both of their first two matches for the first time since 1958, when they reached the final on home soil.

However, the challenge for Sweden is considerable. Their history against European teams in the World Cup group stage is not in their favor, with only one win in their last seven matches, alongside two draws and four defeats.

Matches between the Netherlands and Sweden are usually very close. Their two previous encounters at the World Cup or European Championship saw a combined total of only 77 shots, but no goals were scored. Most memorable was their clash at the 1974 World Cup, where Johan Cruyff made his mark with his iconic turn that bears his name.
