After coming out on top in a five-goal thriller against Ukraine, Netherlands enter matchday two with the hope of clinching another victory and booking a place in the round of 16 stage.
Georginio Wijnaldum, Wout Weghorst and Denzel Dumfries were all on target in the victory, making the team’s return to the competition a memorable one.
Austria also had a bright start to the competition, brushing North Macedonia aside with a 3-1 result.
Netherlands to earn second consecutive victory
