17:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Coverage of the first round-of-16 match (Kick-off 6.00pm), which takes place at Houston Stadium in the USA. The Netherlands claimed a 3-1 victory in the corresponding match four years ago, with Memphis Depay and Daley Blind putting the Dutch in command with two goals in the first half. While Haji Wright pulled one back for the USMNT in the 76th minute, a fine team goal finished off by Denzel Dumfries in the final 10 minutes sealed the victory for Oranje and condemned the United States to a third consecutive exit at this stage of a World Cup finals. Aside from a third-placed finish at the inaugural tournament in 1930 when only 13 teams were involved, as opposed to the 48 at this one, the co-hosts have only made it as far as the quarter-finals on one occasion, so will hope to exploit the expanded format to make a piece of history on home soil |
