It was a lovely lay off from Depay for that goal. He really is the talisman of this Dutch side under Koeman.

GOAL! The hosts double their advantage. Depay delightfully back heels a cross from the right into the path of Liverpool's Wijnaldum, who gleefully sweeps home.

At the other end Depay cuts in with a mazy run from the left. He goes down surrounded by a plethora of Belarus defenders, but one of them appeared to get something on the ball. The Lyon forward has looked firmly in the mood for this tonight.
14'
Belarus are at least getting into the Dutch half now. Cillessen almost hands them a gift with a shocking clearance, but de Ligt rallies and manages to avert the danger with some excellent defending.
11'
Depay is given space to collect a pass and take aim with a ferocious, whipped effort that flashes just over the top from 30 yards out.
10'
HEAD-TO-HEAD: Holland have won six of the eight meetings between the sides. Belarus have picked up two victories in that time. The Dutch won the most recent encounters, triumphing home and away in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

It's been all Holland so far. Plenty of swagger about Oranje's play. The visitors are being penned back.

Make that eight out of 17 goals under Koeman.

That was some start for the hosts. That goal came inside 50 seconds!
Could be a long night for Belarus.
