MALEN MISSES GREAT CHANCE TO LEVEL
Depay with a lovely touch to Reijnders and Maken through on goal scuffs his shot which drifts wide of the target.
23'
SEIWALD JUST FAILS TO SLIDE IN WIMMER
The ball was a little overhit and Verbruggen comes out to claim.
19'
OLE'S FROM AUSTRIA FANS
The Dutch cannot relax in possession with their opponent's press, while Austria's play is leading to Ole's from their fans.
14'
GREAT CHANCE FOR REIJNDERS
Depay played in Reijnders and he passed wide to Gakpo who returned the ball inside the penalty area but the Milan man skewed his effort horribly and it flew well wide.
12'
THE NETHERLANDS GETTING MORE OF THE BALL
But you wouldn't say they have been sprung into action from going behind.
9'
AS WE STAND....
Austria would go through in top spot from Group D with no goals in the match between France and Slovenia. You can follow this match with us here.

GOAL! NETHERLANDS 0-1 AUSTRIA (MALEN OG)
You can't say Austria don't deserve it but a very strange goal as Prass looks to square to a team mate in the box and Malen looking to track back slides in and divert it inside the near post.

SABITZER LOOKS FOR WIMMER IN MIDDLE
But Brighton stopper Verbruggen comes out to gather.
4'
CAULDRON OF NOISE IN BERLIN
On paper both teams could play out a draw to go through but this atmosphere will drive them on. And Koeman is telling his own side not to sit back deep.
2'
EARLY CHANCE FOR AUSTRIA
Prass with a fine low cross from the left wing which comes to Schmid at the back post but rather than shoot he looks to find a pass and the danger is cleared.

AUSTRIA GET THE GAME UNDERWAY
16:54
THE PLAYERS ARE COMING OUT ONTO THE FIELD
Kick off not far away now.
16:46
NETHERLANDS BEING BACK HEAVILY TO WIN
Perhaps because Austria can go through with a defeat of less than 3-0, the pre-match betting money has been on the Oranje to come out on top. From better than even money this morning, they are around a 4/5 shot now.
16:38
AUSTRIA LOOM AS POTENTIAL ENGLAND OPPONENTS
If Czechia or Georgia fail to win their last game in Group F tomorrow, against Turkey and Portugal respectively, if they finish in third position after tonight, Austria would face England in the last 16 - assuming Gareth Southgate's side top Group C.
Probably a bit premature for this talk.
16:30
STATE OF PLAY...
The Netherlands top the group on goals scored, so need to match France's result against Poland to finish as leaders. Austria are in third place with three points. A draw will get them through to the last 16, as would a narrow loss.
16:25
FOUR CHANGES FOR AUSTRIA
Baumgartner, Laimer, Mwene and Trauner come out of the side with Prass, Schmid, Wimmer and Wober coming in.
16:22
MALEN STARTS FOR NETHERLANDS
The Dortmund man is preferred to Xavi Simons.
16:15
