Netherlands Defeats Hungary 4-0 in Nations League

The Netherlands secured a spot in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals with a dominant 4-0 victory over Hungary on November 17, 2024. Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo converted first-half penalties, while Denzel Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners added goals in the second half. The match was temporarily halted due to a medical emergency involving Hungary's assistant coach, Adam Szalai, who was later reported to be in stable condition. Despite Hungary's efforts, Dutch goalkeeper Denes Dibusz was kept busy, but the Netherlands' clinical finishing sealed their place alongside Germany in the next round. Captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized the team's deserved win, while Gakpo highlighted the importance of Szalai's health over the game's outcome.
