Scotland send the Netherlands for 'homework' as Dutch media forget drubbing

It may have been a heavy defeat for Scotland in the end - but Steve Clarke and his side left the Dutch media reaching for the panic button.

AD The crowd in the Johan Cruijff, singing happily, left the stands on Friday evening, after an apparently resounding victory over Scotland: 4-0. However, that reality was grossly distorted: for a long time the Dutch team played a downright weak international match. NU After a mediocre first half in which Reijnders gave Oranje the lead, the Netherlands started to swing in the second half. Wijnaldum immediately scored a goal on his return and substitutes Malen and Weghorst made it 4-0 with their goals. The Netherlands did not win convincingly, but they kept a clean sheet again.

NOS The Dutch national team won the first game of the European Championship year 4-0 against Scotland. An excellent result against a European Championship participant, but it was a far from convincing performance in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The Scots deserved a goal, but Scott McTominay's header also went wide. Wijnaldum offered Gakpo a nice opportunity and substitute Teun Koopmeiners was close after a nice pass from star Reijnders.
