The Netherlands ignited their 2026 World Cup campaign with a clinical 5-1

demolition of Sweden. Brian Brobbey made history with a blistering early brace,

while Cody Gakpo delivered a masterclass performance. Despite Anthony Elanga’s consolation goal,

the Dutch dominance was absolute. Ronald Koeman’s squad has officially sent a

warning to the rest of the tournament: the Oranje are hunting gold.
