THAT’S A WRAP
Thanks for joining us this evening, for a spot of bedtime reading, here’s our match report.
We’ll be back tomorrow for plenty more football, including the BIG game!
TABLE TALK
The Netherlands progress to the knockout stages after picking up six points from their opening two games.
It’s all still to play for, for Ukraine and Austria.
A PIECE OF DEPAY
Memphis Depay had moments of magic today, but Jimmy Flloyd Hasselbaink believes he needs to do more.
The former Dutch player said: “He takes the penalty really well, but if they want to progress and go further he needs to play better.
“He needs to do a lot more.
“He needs to be more the number ten and carry them.”
Here’s a clear-cut chance he missed this evening.
DANGEROUS DUMFRIES
The 25-year-old bagged two goals in his first two European championship games for Holland.
The first to do it since Ruud van Nistelrooy.
COMFORTABLY THROUGH
Holland are through to the round of 16 despite playing in cruise control which will no-doubt make Austria feel worse.
Speaking after the game on the BBC, Alan Shearer said:: “They made Austria look very average and I don’t think that’s a great Dutch side, the way Austria set up it seemed like they were there to be beaten.
“Austria played that ridiculous high line so it was only a matter of time before they got punished – they were poor this evening.”

89. De Ligt has only just recovered from a groin strain and seems to be limping.

80. Schlager hasn’t stopped for Austria in midfield today, but he hasn’t been given any time near goal by Holland’s back three.
Alaba bursts into life on the left and pulls the trigger from about 25 yards out.
He aims for the far post and is only inches away- why hasn’t he been playing there all evening?!

78. Wijnaldum is applying pressure in midfield, he hustles Sabitzer off the ball before he can do anything with it.
