Brobbey, Gakpo put Sweden to the sword

HOUSTON (AP):

Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo scored two goals apiece to power Netherlands to a 5-1 win over Sweden yesterday in the World Cup to bounce back after a disappointing draw in their opener and move atop the Group F standings.

Brobbey's goals came in the first half, helping the Netherlands get off to a great start and roll to the big win after playing Japan to a 2-2 draw Sunday.
