Netherlands Crush Sweden 5-1 and Near World Cup Progression
The Netherlands earned their first win at the 2026 World Cup with a commanding 5-1 victory over Sweden at Houston Stadium. Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo each scored twice for Ronald Koeman’s side, while Crisensio Summerville added the fifth goal for the Oranje.
Sweden managed only a consolation goal through Anthony Elanga. The result leaves the Dutch close to advancing to the next stage of the tournament, after an emphatic performance in Houston.
