DUTCH DELIGHT AS KOEMAN'S SIDE SOAR PAST ICELAND
The Netherlands concluded their Euro 2024 preparations with a commanding 4-0 victory over Iceland.
Xavi Simons gave Ronald Koeman’s side a half-time lead, while Virgil van Dijk, Donyell Malen and Wout Weghorst were on target in the second half at Stadion Feijenoord.
The hosts broke the deadlock midway through the first half as Joey Veerman and Denzel Dumfries neatly combined to set up Simons for a close-range tap-in.
Van Dijk doubled the lead four minutes after the restart, the skipper nodding home from inside the six-yard box after Nathan Ake helped a corner into his path.
Substitute Malen put the result beyond doubt in the 79th minute, latching onto Memphis Depay’s throughball and slotting past Hakon Valdimarsson.
Depay was denied following a VAR review soon after, but the Dutch did get their fourth goal six minutes from time. Malen turned provider as he sprung the offside trap before unselfishly squaring for Weghorst to put the icing on the cake.

GOAL!!! NETHERLANDS 4-0 ICELAND (WEGHORST)
Weghorst puts the icing on the cake!
Malen times his run brilliantly to spring the offside trap and get in behind the defence.
He then unselfishly squares for Weghorst, who delicately lifts over the advancing Valdimarsson.
The strike is initially ruled out for offside, but the referee rightly changes his mind to award it.

THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT, THE FUTURE'S ORANGE

NO GOAL
The Dutch think they have scored a fourth goal as Depay turns in Frimpong's deep cross.
However, the goal is ruled out following a VAR review, with the referee penalising Veerman for handball in the build-up.

GOAL!!! NETHERLANDS 3-0 ICELAND (MALEN)
Just on as a substitute, Malen puts the result beyond any doubt!
The Borussia Dortmund forward times his run beautifully to latch onto Depay's lofted throughball, before demonstrating brilliant composure to slot past Valdimarsson.

TRIPLE CHANGE
Koeman turns to the bench again.
On come Geertruida, Frimpong and Malen with Dumfries, Gakpo and Simons making way.
74'
WIDE
Iceland threaten again from a free-kick out on the right.
Ingason meets the delivery, but cannot steer his header inside Verbruggen's left post.
70'
OFF THE POST
What an effort that was by Thordarson, who tries his luck from a good 30 to 35 yards out.
The substitute's ambitious effort dips dangerously towards Verbruggen's bottom-right corner, but crashes against the upright.

COMETH THE HOUR
The Netherlands are very much in control after 60 minutes in Rotterdam.
It is looking like they are on course for a routine victory.
55'
NERVY FROM THE DUTCH
Reijnders is slow on the ball inside his own area following an Iceland corner.
Thorsteinsson quickly dispossesses him and sends the ball across the six-yard area, but De Vrij is alert and clears the danger.
51'
NOW, NOW
Thorsteinsson drags down Dumfries who, while on the ground, trips the Iceland winger in retaliation.
A scuffle subsequently ensues, but a combination of their team-mates and the referee quickly diffuse the situation.

GOAL!!! NETHERLANDS 2-0 ICELAND (VAN DIJK)

SAVE
Gakpo latches onto Depay's throughball, but Valdimarsson is quickly out of goal to deny the Liverpool forward.
Although, the offside flag subsequently goes up.
