🧠 Match Summary

vs

The Netherlands delivered a commanding 5-1 victory over Sweden in Group F on Matchday 10 in Houston, with Brian Brobbey setting a stunning early tone by netting twice inside the opening 17 minutes. Cody Gakpo then took over after the break, adding two more in quick succession in the 47th and 54th minutes before Crysencio Summerville wrapped things up in the 89th.

Despite Sweden actually edging the shot count 16-10 and enjoying 49% possession, the Dutch were ruthlessly clinical, converting seven of their shots on target compared to Sweden's eight, with both goalkeepers kept busy throughout. Anthony Elanga pulled one back for the Swedes in the 59th minute, but it proved little consolation as the Netherlands emphatically asserted their Group F credentials under referee Michael Oliver.
