Match overview
The Netherlands demolished Austria 5-1 in Cordoba to take control of Group A in the second round. After Ernie Brandts opened the scoring early, the Dutch dominated with goals from Rensenbrink, Rep and van der Kerkhof. Austria managed only a late consolation through Obermayer as the Dutch displayed their total football philosophy.
Trivia
This match showcased the brilliance of Dutch total football, with Ernie Brandts scoring at both ends – netting for the Netherlands but also having scored an own goal in their previous match. Johnny Rep’s brace demonstrated the clinical finishing that made the Dutch one of the tournament’s most feared attacking sides.
