Match Report
Ryan Babel scored twice as Netherlands kept the pressure on the top two in Euro 2020 qualifying Group C with a comfortable 4-0 win at Estonia.
Although Ronald Koeman's men clearly played within themselves in the first half, they did not need to be particularly outstanding to take the lead, with poor goalkeeping allowing Babel to convert.
Match Events
17'GOAL! Estonia 0-1 Netherlands (Babel)
GOAL! 1-0 NETHERLANDS! After having a shot blocked, the pink-haired Babel nips between Klavan and Tamm to fire at goal. It's straight at Lepmets at close range, but too powerful for the keeper to keep out. That's his first goal in this qualifying group.
48' GOAL! Estonia 0-2 Netherlands (Babel)
GOAL! 2-0 NETHERLANDS! Apparently not. Babel drifts unmarked between Tamm and Teniste to nod in a Depay cross at the far post.
76' GOAL! Estonia 0-3 Netherlands (Depay)
GOAL! 3-0 NETHERLANDS! Depay gets on the scoresheet after Estonia fail to deal with De Ligt's long ball forward. Depay beats Klavan to take it down, stops briefly, then curls the ball past Lepmets.
87' GOAL! Estonia 0-4 Netherlands (Wijnaldum)
GOAL! 4-0 NETHERLANDS! Wijnaldum nods a free header underneath the diving Lepmets from Depay's delivery. Estonia are well beaten.
