DEPAY SECURES TOP SPOT

THE Netherlands are through to the last 16 at Euro 2020 after Memphis Depay’s penalty set up a 2-0 win over Austria on Thursday, their second straight victory securing top spot in Group C.

Depay made no mistake from the spot in the 11th minute in Amsterdam after David Alaba’s foul on Denzel Dumfries.

Dumfries, so impressive in the thrilling opening 3-2 win over Ukraine, added another midway through the second half, his second goal of the tournament.

The Dutch were comfortable in the Johan Cruyff Arena and coach Frank de Boer’s side are making a success of their first major tournament since the 2014 World Cup. The Dutch cannot be caught at the top of the group.
