The Netherlands secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Tunisia on June 25, 2026, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, in their final Group F match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The win ensured the Dutch finished top of the group with seven points, ahead of Japan on goal difference.
Tunisia, already eliminated from the tournament, struggled to create chances against a dominant Dutch side. The opening goal came in the 23rd minute when a cross from Memphis Depay was turned into his own net by Tunisian midfielder Ellyes Skhiri. The own goal was the first of the tournament for Tunisia.
The Netherlands doubled their lead in the 68th minute through a well-taken goal by substitute Donyell Malen, who slotted home after a pass from Frenkie de Jong. Tunisia's best chance came from a long-range effort by Aïssa Laïdouni that was saved by Dutch goalkeeper Justin Bijlow.
With the victory, the Netherlands advance to the round of 16, where they will face the runner-up of Group E. Tunisia finished bottom of Group F with one point from three matches, following a draw with Japan and losses to the Netherlands and Japan.
