🏆👉 Netherlands won the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 defeating USA on Saturday 3 December 2022 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The Netherlands took the lead in the first half with the double advantage with goals by Memphis Depay and Daley Blind. The USA reopened the match, with an almost fortuitous goal by Haji Wright primed by Christian Pulisic. Inter player Denzel Dumfries then sealed the game, the authentic protagonist of the match, having also provided two assists in the first half. The Netherlands, therefore, overcomes the USA obstacle and is the first team to access the quarterfinals, where they will find the winner between Argentina and Australia.
The Netherlands went unbeaten in all 11 World Cup matches under Louis van Gaal (W8 D3), keeping five clean sheets in the last seven, including the last three in the knockout stage. The only team in World Cup history to have kept four consecutive clean sheets in the knockout stages were Spain, when they lifted the trophy in 2010.

✅ Stats before the game: All five of the Netherlands’ meetings with the United States have been in friendly matches: Netherlands won the first four between 1998 and 2010, while the United States prevailed in the most recent one, in 2015. The Netherlands are unbeaten in 19 World Cup matches against non-European nations (W13 D6), since a 3-2 defeat by Brazil in the 1994 quarter-finals. However, two of their six draws in that run have seen them eliminated after penalties (v Brazil in 1998 and v Argentina in 2014). The USA have not won any of their last 11 World Cup matches against European sides (D6 L5), since a 3-2 defeat of Portugal in 2002. Overall, they have won just three of their 23 World Cup games against European sides (D7, 13P), also beating Belgium in 1930 and England in 1950.
