Going into Wednesday’s games, Netherlands knew they would take on the Czech Republic if Spain defeated Slovakia, and Poland failed to beat Poland. Sweden won 3-2, while Spain hammered Slovakia 5-0.
That means that Netherlands will take on the Czechs at 17.00 BST in Budapest for a place in the quarter-finals.
The Czech Republic finished third in their group on four points. They defeated Scotland 2-0 before a 1-1 draw with Croatia and then ended the group with a 1-0 defeat in England.
The winner would then face either Wales or Denmark for a place in the semi-finals.

Wishing Oranje the best as they continue to improve and jell as a squad!
The real things will start on Sunday. It is the moment of truth for Holland. I wish all good luck to Oranje.
Wait i thought it would be Portugal!?
Can you confirm please
Holland has a real chance to reach semi-finals. Czech Republic, Wales and Denmark are not top teams like France or Germany or England. With some luck Holland can do it.
From one perspective most players on the squad don’t have much international tournament experience and so reaching the knockout stage itself is great. While Czech Republic will not in any way be a pushover, this is still a golden opportunity to make a run to the QF and even SF – they couldn’t gave asked for a better bracket draw.
Expectations will be high but crossing my fingers that the Oranje can pull through!
Holland will be the Dark Horse this time.
Winning Spirit Only Matters at Final Match.
