The Netherlands sealed top spot in Group F at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a commanding 3-1 victory over Tunisia in their final group-stage match.

The Dutch finished with seven points to qualify for the Round of 32 as group winners, two points clear of Japan.

An early own goal by Ellyes Skhiri and a clinical finish from Brian Brobbey within the first seven minutes put the Netherlands firmly in control.

Tunisia responded after the break through Hazem Mastouri, but Jan Paul van Hecke restored the Dutch’s two-goal cushion with a header to seal the win.

Already eliminated before kickoff, Tunisia fought hard and were denied a late penalty appeal but could not avoid a third defeat in the tournament.

Japan progressed as Group F runners-up with five points, while Sweden finished third on four points and must wait to learn if they qualify as one of the tournament’s best third-placed teams.
