The Netherlands national team qualified for the 2026 World Cup by convincingly beating Lithuania in the final round of the qualifying round.

Ronald Koeman’s team left their opponents no chance and got the result that allowed them to win Group G.

The home team opened the scoring in the 16th minute — Tijani Reynders hit the top of the net after a pass from Frankie de Jong.

After the break, the Netherlands only increased the pace: in the 58th minute, Cody Gakpo converted a penalty, and in two minutes, Javi Simmons made the score 3:0. The final point was put by Donyell Malen, closing a rapid counterattack — 4:0.

The class of the “Orange” was undeniable, that’s why they are going to the World Cup in North America.

Netherlands – Lithuania 4:0
Goals: Reinders (16), Gakpo (58, penalty), Simmons (60), Malen (62)
