Germany got off the mark straight from the kick off, a 14-pass move finished off by Florian Wirtz in 29sec before the stunned Netherlands had even touched the ball.

The second goal on eight minutes was almost as slick as Ridle Baku provided a through ball and Wirtz bamboozled the defence and 'keeper with his shimmy and shot.

The Dutch galvanised then to steady the flood and eventually pulled a goal back on 67 minutes when defender Perr Schuurs latched on to a loose ball at the back of the box, finishing with a deft clip beneath the 'keeper Finn Dahmen.
