The Oranje team underwent only changes compared to the duel with Ukraine, when after the groin problems he appeared for the first time at the European Championship stopper De Ligt, who replaced Timber. Gregoritsch introduced himself at the tip of the Austrian attack instead of Kalajdžič, and the forward Arnautovic was also missing due to a disciplinary punishment.
The first half did not offer too lively football for the fans. An important moment came after ten minutes, when Alaba stomped Dumfries’ leg in the corner of the lime and the judge, after consulting with VAR, ordered a penalty, which was safely converted by Depay with a shot to the right post. The lead of the home team could have been more significant. Alaba didn’t have his day, he fell asleep after the car throw-in and Depay ran to the gate, but he didn’t aim as he shot. Lyon’s forward had a great chance at the end of the half, when he served him a Weghorst delicatessen balloon, but he overshot it from a small lime.

The Austrians did not threaten so much, Hinteregger sent a poisonous blow from a distance, but the ball whistled a little above the crossbar.
The Dutch longed for insurance and a change of sides, and after an hour of play they almost cheered. After a corner kick, Weghorst returned the ball in front of the goal to the completely free de Vrije, but which was caught up close by Bachmann, and after the arrival of De Ligta, the dotted ball ended right next to the right post.
But seven minutes later, the arena in Amsterdam exploded with joy. Depay sent Malen into the escape, who just in front of Bachmann sent a balloon to the right instead of a shot at Dumfries, who increased it to 2: 0 in the open gate.
The Austrians tried in vain for a contact intervention, headed a dangerously alternating Kalajdžič around the corner and ten minutes before the end he fired Alaba beautifully from a distance, but the ball missed the left bar by a hair. When Onisiwo headed after the center of Kalajdžič only into the gloves of the goalkeeper Stekelenburg, the Dutch enjoyed the victory 2: 0.
