Netherlands vs Sweden

21

53' Netherlands score again. It's 4-0

D By David Hirst

This is turning ugly for Sweden but it's a great goal by the Dutch.

Summerville flies forward and plays the ball to Gakpo.

The Liverpool man does brilliantly, cutting inside and firing into the bottom corner.

The Dutch have been brilliant since half-time.

It's also the 100th goal of this World Cup.

46' It's 3-0 to the Netherlands!

D By David Hirst

Game over.

Sweden will be devastated.

It's a third goal for the Dutch and a third goal coming from balls across the goal.

Denzel Dumfries fires the ball across and Cody Gakpo taps it home.

And we're back under way in Houston

45+2' Good save!

D By David Hirst

Sweden are getting closer!

Verbruggen makes a great save to keep out a free-kick from Gyokeres.

Then moments later he denies Ayari with another top save.

44' Sweden goal ruled out!

D By David Hirst

Sweden think they're back in the game but the offside flag is up!

Gustaf Lagerbielke gets up bravely to head home a cross.

Sweden fans go wild.

But then the flag goes up.

It was close, but it was offside

40' Ayari blazes over for Sweden

D By David Hirst

Ayari scored two stunners in Sweden's first game against Tunisia.

But here, he blasts over the bar from outside the area.

Powerful hit but always going over.

36' Good save by Sweden keeper

D By David Hirst

Sweden are getting back into this game.

Viktor Gyokeres sweep in a curling first-time shot across goal, which Bart Verbruggen parries away.

Gyokeres and Isak causing problems for the Dutch.

28' Big chance for Sweden

D By David Hirst

Great counter attack by Sweden.

Gyokeres plays a fantastic ball into the box.

But Yasin Ayari can't control on his chest with only the keeper to beat.

Sweden growing into the game after the break.

What now for Sweden?

D By David Hirst

Wow, Netherlands made that look easy. What now Sweden?

- Big Ben

Hi Ben, thanks for joining me this morning.

You're right. The Netherlands have been all over Sweden.

Can the Swedes fight back as we head into our first ad break?

16' Brobbey scores another for Netherlands!

D By David Hirst

Wow.

It's almost a carbon copy of the first goal but down the right side.

Denzel Dumfries gets down the flank and plays the ball across the area and Brian Brobbey gets the faintest of touches to make it 2-0.

Sweden are having a nightmare here.

Netherlands full of confidence

D By David Hirst

That early goal has filled the Netherlands with confidence.

They're causing Sweden all kinds of problems down the flanks.

Sweden need to see through this period without conceding again.

5' Goal for Netherlands!

D By David Hirst

An early goal in Houston!

Gakpo plays a beauty of a ball across the face of goal and striker Brian Brobbey thumps home from close range.

What a start by the Dutch.
