Belgium 1-4 Netherlands: Depay double as Dutch down neighbours
Baku, June 4, AZERTAC
The Netherlands beat neighbours Belgium for the first time since 1997 as a fearsome display in their UEFA Nations League opener secured a big win in Brussels, according to the UEFA.
Belgium made the brighter start and came close to the opener when Romelu Lukaku set up Timothy Castagne, whose shot thumped against the frame of the goal. However, the Netherlands soon took the upper hand and Simon Mignolet was forced into a fine save to deny Steven Berghuis, the start of a catalogue of chances for the visitors.
