The Netherlands wrapped up top spot in World Cup Group F with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Tunisia, capitalising on another error-strewn display from opponents whose calamitous tournament came to a fitting end.
It was a nightmare start for Tunisia as Ellyes Skhiri sliced Denzel Dumfries' cross into his own goal in the third minute.
Brian Brobbey doubled the Dutch lead four minutes later when Virgil van Dijk nodded the ball across goal, leaving Brobbey with a simple finish from close range after a cleverly worked set piece.
Tunisia's Hazem Mastouri pulled one back with a thumping header from a corner in the 54th minute, but Jan Paul van Hecke struck eight minutes later when he flicked Tijjani Reijnders' corner on at the near post with the ball glancing off Anis Slimane's head on the way into the net.
Tunisia's defeat brought down the curtain on a miserable campaign that featured heavy losses to Sweden and Japan, and the sacking of coach Sabri Lamouchi after one game.
The Netherlands will face Morocco in the Round of 32.
Japan vs Sweden
In the other match, Japan secured the second spot of the group after a nervy 1-1 draw against Sweden.
Japan's Maeda broke the deadlock early in the second half following a cagey opening period when he timed a run perfectly into the box and finished from Ritsu Doan's pinpoint pass.
Sweden responded minutes later after Elanga carried the ball before unleashing a long-range shot that beat Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. Alexander Isak nearly found the winner for Sweden deep in second-half stoppage time, but Suzuki managed to tip his glancing header onto the crossbar.
Japan finished on five points behind group winners the Netherlands on seven points. Japan face Brazil in a round of 32 clash on Monday in Houston, while Sweden move on with four points as one of the best third-place teams.
