On Friday, an unexpected result was achieved in the UEFA Nations League. The Netherlands national team crushed their geographical neighbor, the Belgium national team, 4:0 in an away game. The match started off with Belgium securing initiative. Timothy Castagne had a great opportunity to score, but his shot only tested the goalpost. In the second half, Netherlands took control. In the 40th minute, a beautiful strike by Steven Bergwijn put the "flying Dutchmen" ahead. At the beginning of the second half, Memphis Depay doubled the lead. In the 61st minute, Denzel Dumfries scored the third goal after a pass from Daley Blind. Just 4 minutes later, D. Blind provided another accurate pass for M. Depay to score a "double." After the match, the Barcelona striker became the third top scorer of all time for the Netherlands national team, only behind K. Huntelaar and R. van Persie. Michy Batshuayi scored a consolation goal for Belgium at the end of the match. Following this victory, the Netherlands climbed to the top spot in Group A4.
