Netherlands and Hungary went into the match tied on five points each and with the winner set to join Germany in ensuring their progress from Group A3 to the quarter-finals.

First-half penalties by Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo sent the Oranje on their way, before Denzel Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners made the game safe.

"There are always things we can improve upon," Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk said. "But in the end, we deserved to win."

The match at the Johan Cruyff Arena was interrupted in the seventh minute following a medical emergency on the Hungarian bench. The referee stopped play for 10 minutes while Hungary's assistant coach Adam Szalai received treatment, shielded from view by players and staff members, as well as a large white sheet.
