The Netherlands have become the first country to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Dutch on Saturday afternoon locked horns with the USA in the Round 16 stage of the tournament.
In a game of many goals, FC Barcelona star Memphis Depay scored in the 10th minute to shoot the Netherlands into an early lead.
While the USA would come in stronger after conceding, the side failed to score to restore parity before the break.
To make matters difficult, the Netherlands equalised again in stoppage time of the first half when Daley Blind found the back of the net.
All two Dutch goals were assisted by Denzel Humphries.
In the second half, the USA did better than the first half and was awarded in the 76th minute.
Haji Wright scored with a fine effort to give his country the chance of a comeback.
Unfortunately, the Netherlands would score again in the 81st minute through Denzel Humphries.
The explosive defender finished off a good team move to seal a delightful 3-1 win for his country.
The Netherlands are now through to the quarter-finals and will face the winner of the Round 16 match between Argentina and Australia.
