Winners in Kazakhstan (2-1), the Netherlands can still dream of Euro – The Équipe.fr

Was it due to stress, synthetic pitch Astana, or simple visible boundaries for months? The Netherlands early game proved winded, and cartons outnumbered good actions. After five minutes, Clément Turpin had already distributed two warnings, one on each side, and had to go out Islamkhan (13th) after a collision with Daley Blind.

Anwar El Ghazi even when placed a first strike (7th), and crossed for the head of Wijnaldum (26th), which then opened the scoring with one of his passes (33). The fourth goal in the middle of orange Newcastle was a huge relief for his team, which had lost seven of their last twelve games since the World Cup. She won the thirteenth without much trembling, as Wesley Sneijder doubled the gap at the 50th minute with a powerful shot from the left side of the surface.

The Dutch then place more easily, and while he missed a huge opportunity (29th), Depay became sharp. The injury of keeper Tim Krul (82), which had already replaced Cillessen, touched upon heating, has announced the third goalkeeper Zoet, his first selection. His first goal conceded (90 + 6) remain anecdotal because Mr. Turpin immediately whistled the match. The Netherlands has therefore found in Kazakhstan victory they were looking for and still hope to put pressure on Turkey, which moves in the Czech Republic this Saturday night. But they must always rely on a misstep Turkish if they want to occupy the third qualifying spot for dams after their last match against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

the beginning of Revelation season in the Netherlands, Ajax winger had his debut in Kazakhstan. Baptism is successful because it did not seem to suffer from the weight of the issue, both personal and collective, and has always been very comfortable on his right side, even when partners were less serene. He thus found behind the goal Wijnaldum, and was the author of a knock picked up in two stages by Pokatilov, Kazakh goalkeeper (70th). With Depay left, the Dutch do not only have reason to fear the future.

Proof of Dutch ineffective until Wesley Sneijder had to wait its twenty-eighth shot qualifiers finally score. But the goal of the captain is crucial as it allowed his team to be free of a Kazakh return, which would have virtually ruled out of the race to the Euro. This match also marked the hundredth selection Robin Van Persie, but the striker does not keep a great memory because it only came on in the 87th minute.
