What happened: Bryan Brobbey scored twice inside the opening 17 minutes as Netherlands jumped ahead of Sweden at the World Cup. Handed a starting role up front, Brobbey converted both of his early chances, and the Dutch have built a 3-0 lead with the match still in progress.

Why it matters: The fast start hands Netherlands control of a high-stakes World Cup fixture against a Sweden side that had been in strong form. For Brobbey, two goals in his first quarter-hour is a statement after a limited role earlier in the tournament, thrusting him into the conversation as the Netherlands' lead striker.

What to watch: Watch whether Brobbey pushes for a first-half hat-trick and whether Netherlands can protect the three-goal cushion as Sweden chase a response after the break.
