Leeds United's USA duo Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams seal Netherlands World Cup last-16 clash

Leeds United duo Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams will face off against the Netherlands at the World Cup after helping the USA qualify from group B.

While Adams started and Aaronson came on off the bench to replace Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, both were involved in the USA's group stage finale that saw them dispatch Iran 1-0.

That win pulled Gregg Berhalter's side above Iran in the standings to finish second in group B behind England.

So far this tournament, USA captain Adams has played every single minute of their campaign so far while Aaronson's impact has been limited to three substitute appearances.

Had they managed to win Group B, they would have faced Senegal in the next round, who finished as Group A's runners-up.

However, due to their second-place finish, they will now be pitted against the Netherlands, managed by Louis van Gaal.

The Netherlands won two of their group stage games, beating Qatar and Senegal, whilst they drew against Ecuador.

The game will be played on Saturday, 3 December at 3pm. The game will be broadcast on BBC One, with coverage getting underway at 2.30pm.
