Thanks to their 3-1 win over Tunisia, the Netherlands finished the group stage of the 2026 World Cup unbeaten, extending their remarkable run in this phase of the tournament to 19 consecutive matches without defeat.
To find the Oranje’s last loss in a World Cup group stage, you have to go all the way back to 1994, when the Dutch side suffered their most recent defeat at this stage against Morocco.
In a curious twist of fate, it will be the Atlas Lions who now face the Netherlands in the last 32 of the 2026 World Cup.
The knockout tie will therefore give the Dutch not only the chance to book their place in the next round, but also the perfect opportunity to avenge that historic defeat and settle a score with their past.
