Another day at work.
This Saturday evening, the Netherlands played their first qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Finland.
On the pitch of a modest opponent, the Dutch did not let doubt set in thanks to Memphis Depay's opening goal in the 6th minute of play.
The former OL player is now only two lengths behind Robin Van Persie, the highest scorer in Oranje history.
Denzel Dumfries then came to make the break in the 23rd minute, thus allowing the Netherlands to be safe until the end of the match.
With this victory, the Dutch are now three points behind Poland, who have one more match.
Ronald Koeman's proteges will host Malta in the next round, on June 10th.
