The Netherlands powered past Hungary 4-0 on Saturday in a decisive Nations League Group A3 match, securing their spot in the quarter-finals alongside a dominant Germany, who thrashed Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0.
Both the Netherlands and Hungary entered the clash tied on five points, with a win necessary to advance. Early penalties from Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo set the tone for the Oranje, while second-half goals from Denzel Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners sealed the result at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
The game was briefly paused in the seventh minute due to a medical emergency involving Hungary’s assistant coach, Ádám Szalai. Shielded by a white sheet, Szalai received treatment before being stretchered off to applause from fans and players. The Hungarian FA later confirmed he was conscious and in stable condition at a hospital in Amsterdam.
After a Tamas Nikitscher handball, Weghorst confidently converted the opener from the penalty spot. The Netherlands doubled their lead in added time of the first half when Gakpo converted another penalty following a foul on Donyell Malen. Dumfries fired in a spectacular volley to make it three, and Koopmeiners capped the victory with a late header in his first international appearance since 2022.
Meanwhile, Germany delivered the heaviest win in Nations League history with a 7-0 demolition of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Jamal Musiala opened the scoring within two minutes, and Tim Kleindienst netted his first international goal in the 23rd minute. Kai Havertz added a third before halftime. Florian Wirtz stole the show in the second half, scoring twice, including a sublime free-kick. Leroy Sané and Kleindienst completed the rout, with the latter heading home a pinpoint Antonio Rüdiger cross.
The emphatic win leaves Germany five points clear at the top of Group A3, with one match remaining.
