The Czechs will face Denmark next Saturday in Baku.

This is so far the best campaign for the Czechs at the tournament since 2012, when they also reached the quarter-finals.

Tomas Holes broke the deadlock after a free-kick was headed back across goal by Tomas Kalas and top scorer Patrik Schick added a second, scoring his fourth goal in the tournament.

The Dutch side had Matthijs de Ligt dismissed for a handball after video review before the opening goal.

The Netherlands are out in the first match of the knock-out stages after not qualifying for the Euros in 2016 and also missing the 2018 World Cup.
