Buts : Zirkzee (13e), Reijnders (45e+2), Steel (55).e), Weghorst (88e), Simons (90e+2) // Demirović (27e), Dzeko (73e)
Z factor.
The Netherlands dominated Bosnia-Herzegovina this Saturday (5-2), and Joshua Zirkzee scored points. Starting for the first time in the senior squad, the new Manchester United striker, who had only had crumbs at the Euro, opened his account with a somewhat risky header with his back to goal (1-0, 13e)Bosnia got back on track thanks to Ermedin Demirović, who punished the poor positioning of the central hinge (1-1, 27e)but Zirkzee handed over the Orange on the right track by finding Tijjani Reijnders in the axis, who then took advantage of the spaces opened by his teammates to break through and score with his left foot (2-1, 45e+2).
Reijnders’ offering for Cody Gakpo widens the gap (3-1, 55e). Edin Džeko reminded everyone that he didn’t look his 38th birthday by beating Bart Verbruggen with a superb pass behind a clearly guilty Matthijs de Ligt. (3-2, 73e). Wout Weghorst, however, avoided a disappointment by restoring his team’s two-goal lead after a ball was pushed away by Nikola Vasilj. (4-2, 88e). Xavi Simons even had the final word after a good relay from Donyell Malen (5-2, 90e+2).
We shouldn’t be bored on Tuesday night.
