Oranje Impress with Convincing 4-0 Victory
Oranje impressed with a 4-0 victory over Finland in the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam on Sunday. The goals were scored by Donyell Malen, Virgil van Dijk, Memphis Depay, and Cody Gakpo in the Group G World Cup qualifier.
The victory was expected, but what pleased manager Ronald Koeman the most was the team's performance. The team had been under pressure for some dull performances, and Koeman challenged them to play attractive football prior to the game.
Koeman made two changes to the side, with Malen and Justin Kluivert replacing Tijjani Reijnders and Jeremie Frimpong. Malen scored within eight minutes, playing a one-two with Depay and finding the net, despite questionable goalkeeping from Jesse Joronen.
Oranje dominated the game from the first minute, culminating in Malen's goal.
- Donyell Malen scored within eight minutes
