Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey both scored twice as the Netherlands thrashed Sweden 5-1 in a World Cup warning on Saturday in Houston.
The big win in front of nearly 69,000 put the delighted Dutch on the cusp of the knockout rounds and gave them liftoff after being held by Japan.
Ronald Koeman's side top Group F with four points from two games, ahead of Sweden on three, Japan (one) and Tunisia (none).
Despite the sobering loss the Swedes had plenty of chances but were denied by good goalkeeping and wasteful finishing.
They are still in with a good chance of progressing into the last 32 but face a test in the form of Japan in their final group game.
Sunderland striker Brobbey got his first start of the tournament and repaid Koeman with predatory goals after five and 17 minutes.
Before that the 24-year-old had scored only once for his country.
In a game full of Premier League talent, Liverpool's Gakpo -- who set Brobbey up for the opener -- scored twice early in the second half.
Substitute Anthony Elanga pulled one back for Sweden just before the hour with a classy finish.
Substitute Crysencio Summerville, who was replaced in the starting line-up by Brobbey, had the last word for the five-star Dutch.
