Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman was understandably pleased with his side's positive start to their Nations League campaign as they beat Bosnia 5-2 on Saturday (Sep 7) and can look forward with confidence to Tuesday's clash with Germany.
Joshua Zirkzee scored his first goal for the Netherlands as they put five past Bosnia-Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League. The striker netted a fine flicked header following Xavi Simons' deflected shot.
Ermedin Demirovic levelled with a first-time finish from Denis Huseinbasic's through ball in Eindhoven. But Zirkzee then picked out Tijjani Reijnders to put the hosts ahead again in first-half injury time.
Cody Gakpo scored a third, sliding the ball into an empty net from Reijnders' low drive across the six-yard box. But Edin Dzeko gave the Bosnians hope with his 66th international goal from Esmir Bajraktarevic's cross.
Wout Weghorst came on for Zirkzee and scored the Netherlands' fourth, before Simons wrapped up an emphatic victory in injury time.
