Netherlands dismantled Lithuania 4–0 in World Cup qualifying on 17 November, with the hosts' 4–3–3 formation proving overwhelmingly dominant against Lithuania's defensive 5–4–1 setup. The Dutch created a substantial quality differential, generating 3.2 expected goals from 20 shots with eight on target, whilst Lithuania managed just 0.47 xG from nine attempts and a single shot on target. Goals from Xavi Simons, Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo, and Tijjani Reijnders sealed a comprehensive victory, with Lithuania's goalkeeper posting a perfect 100 per cent save percentage on limited opportunities—a statistical reflection of the visitors' inability to trouble the hosts meaningfully. The gulf in attacking threat was evident throughout; Netherlands controlled the match's rhythm and converted their chances with clinical efficiency. This result underscores the Netherlands' qualifying credentials and Lithuania's struggles in Group G.
