AMSTERDAM - Two first half penalties and two quality strikes in the second half handed the Netherlands a 4-0 win over Hungary on Nov 16 and a place in the Nations League quarter-finals in March as they guaranteed themselves a top two finish in Group A3.
Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo both scored from the spot, while Denzel Dumfries and the returning Teun Koopmeiners added two more after the break.
The game at the Johan Cruyff Stadium was halted after seven minutes when Hungary assistant coach Adam Szalai suffered what looked to be a seizure on the bench.
His legs could be seen kicking as he lay on the ground, quickly surrounded by staff members and substitutes.
It led to a 13-minute stoppage while he was being treated and it was only after a discussion among the players on the field that the Hungary team agreed to play on. REUTERS
