Group G of the 2026 UEFA World Cup qualifiers reached their final chapter with an important victory for the Netherlands over a struggling Lithuania. Goals from Reijnders in the first half, and Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simmons, and Malen in the second half, secured a 4–0 win for Ronald Koeman’s side on home soil.

In doing so, and leaving no doubts, the Netherlands secured their direct ticket to the next World Cup, avoiding a potential playoff. One of Europe’s giants will be present next year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
