AMSTERDAM: The Netherlands secured berth in last 16 at Euro 2020 as it saw off Austria in Amsterdam to win Group C with a game to spare.

Frank de Boer’s side, that beat Ukraine in its opening fixture, looks to be hitting its stride as it outclassed the visitor in front of 12,000 fans at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Talisman Memphis Depay put the host ahead from the spot after David Alaba brought down flying wing-back Denzel Dumfries, who capped a fine performance by adding the second from a swift break in the second half.

The Dutch, who failed to qualify for the past two major tournaments, are into the knockout stages at the European Championship for the first time since 2008.

Austria started its campaign with victory over North Macedonia and its progression will be decided in the final group match against Ukraine.
