Netherlands and Sweden will meet at the World Cup for the second time. Their first encounter, in the 1974 group stage, ended 0-0 and featured Johan Cruyff’s famous ‘Cruyff turn’ – one of 11 successful dribbles in the match, the joint-most by any player in a game at that tournament.
Netherlands and Sweden’s two previous matches at a major tournament produced 77 shots but not a single goal: 38 shots in the 1974 World Cup (0-0), 39 shots at Euro 2004 (0-0 aet, 5-4 to Netherlands on pens).
