Two second-half goals from Tomas Holes and Patrik Schick sealed the victory for Jaroslav Silhavy's side at the Puskas Arena.

Frank de Boer's men were reduced to 10 men after Matthijs de Ligt was handed a straight red card in the 52nd minute - a move that gave their opponent the driving force to take the lead.

De Ligt was handed a marching order after denying Patrik Schick a clear goalscoring opportunity minutes into the second half of the game.

Denzel Dumfries and Memphis Depay gave the Netherlands a bright start in the game but their efforts weren't good enough to put them ahead earlier in the game.

De Boer's men started the competition on a bright note - winning all their group games without any struggles but their first knockout fixture ended up in defeat.
