The Netherlands take on Sweden tomorrow looking to bounce back from the disappointment of their opening game draw with Japan.
The Dutch led twice but were ultimately forced to settle for a point after Daichi Kamada netted an 88th-minute equaliser.
Sweden had no such problems, hammering Tunisia 5-1 with big-name strike duo Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak both on target.
A win for Graham Potter’s men would send them through to the knockout stages.
