FIFA World Cup: Netherlands beat USA 3-1 in the Round of 16

Goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries guided the Netherlands to a 3-1 win over USA in the first Round of 16 match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Dutch started the game at a strong note as Depay finished a 20 pass move, five first touch passes as they changed gears, in the 10th minute to give the Group A toppers an early lead. A sensational move that saw nine Dutch players involved in the build-up. And a first-time finish the Barcelona winger.
Just at the edge of the first half, Daley Blind would give the Oranje a two goal cushion as he pounced onto the ball inside the USA box.

With the game very much in control of the Louis Van Gaal managed team, Hajey Wright provided the Group B runner ups with a ray of hope as he hit one back in the 76th minute. A move that developed with Chrian Pulisic getting free on the right side of the box and sliding a cross in for Wright. A strange touch on the ball that saw it loop over Noppert and the Dutch defence to nestle into the far side of the goal.
However, it only took Denzel Dumfries to kill all hopes for the 2026 World Cup co-hosts as he latched onto a cross from the left, unmarked, and beat the goalkeeper with a first time volley.
The Dutch will now face the winner of the Argentina-Australia fixture in the quarter final.
