The Netherlands put on a strong first half against Sweden and, as expected, lead 2-0 at halftime in this Group F match of the 2026 World Cup.
From the opening minutes, the Dutch dictated the pace with intense pressure and quick ball movement.
Their dominance was quickly rewarded thanks to Brian Brobbey, who scored twice in the first quarter-hour to put his team on the right track.
Solid as a unit and inspired on offense, the Oranje controlled the match against a struggling Swedish team.
Despite a few attempts to mount a comeback before halftime, Sweden failed to capitalize on its chances.
A goal scored by the Scandinavians was even disallowed for offside.
With this two-goal lead, the Netherlands heads into the second half with confidence, while Sweden will have to show a completely different side if it hopes to get back into the game.
