Match overview
Netherlands dominated throughout in Marseille, stretching Korea’s back-line with pace on both flanks. Cocu’s tap-in and Overmars’ low drive established control before the interval; classy efforts from Bergkamp, substitute Van Hooijdonk and Ronald de Boer ensured a five-goal margin that flattered an out-classed Korean side.
Trivia
This remains the Oranje’s largest World-Cup victory. Every starting Dutch forward scored, and Frank de Boer completed more passes than the entire Korean midfield, underlining total control.
