🔥 Rapid-fire double, Oranje strike duo steamroll Sweden

Quite a few people reacted to Brian Brobbey’s debut in the Netherlands’ starting XI with slight raised eyebrows. One goal in 13 international appearances was not exactly a case for a place in the first team.

But head coach Ronald Koeman wanted to field a much more physical striker against Sweden than Donyell Malen had been in the opening match against Japan. After just 17 minutes, one thing was already clear: Koeman’s change had paid off in full. 

The powerful Brobbey was immediately a problem for the Swedish back line. He brought others into play intelligently and went exactly where it hurts. Right there, he struck twice within twelve minutes. Oranje is celebrating its target man.
