Depay and Dumfries ensure winning start in World Cup qualifying for Netherlands
Netherlands kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign with a crisp 2-0 win over Finland in Helsinki.
Memphis Depay scored after six minutes. Denzil Dumfries, one week after his unhappy experience playing for Inter Milan in the Champions League final, added the second after 23 minutes.
Netherlands jumped to third in Group G, overtaking Lithuania and Malta who drew 0-0. The Dutch are one point behind Finland and three behind leaders Poland who did not play.
