Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo scored two goals apiece to power Netherlands to a 5-1 win over Sweden yesterday in the World Cup to bounce back after a disappointing draw in their opener and move atop the Group F standings.
Brobbey's goals came in the first half, helping the Netherlands get off to a great start and roll to the big win after playing Japan to a 2-2 draw Sunday.
The victory gives Netherlands a group-leading four points. Sweden have three points, with Japan and Tunisia scheduled to play after press time.
