Soccer-Netherlands beat Latvia for first points of World Cup qualifying campaign

The Dutch were looking for a strong response after a shock 4-2 loss to Turkey in Istanbul on Wednesday at the start of their Group G campaign.

Despite a ferocious onslaught from kickoff -- the Dutch had 11 attempts on target in the first 25 minutes -- they took until past the half hour to score when Berghuis, who had waited until his 23rd cap for his first international goal, lashed home from the edge of the area. Latvia goalkeeper Roberts Ozols continued to face a barrage in the second period, coming out on top in several goalmouth scrambles and making some smart stops as he and his team lived a charmed life.

A counter attack five minutes from fulltime offered Latvia a lone chance which Andrejs Ciganiks hit against the outside of the post.
