http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hungary-c2920 in their second 2014 World Cup qualification game at Ferenc Puskas Stadium on Tuesday, September 11.
The Oranje commenced proceedings brightly in Budapest, and it took only three minutes for them to break the deadlock through Jeremain Lens. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 winger
played a quick one-two with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 before sending in a pinpoint cross inside the box for Lens, who headed the ball into the back of the net with ease.
However, the home side responded aggressively, and levelled the score-line only four minutes later. Jordy Clasie brought down Zoltan Gera inside the penalty area, and the referee awarded the hosts a spot-kick without any hesitation.
Balazs Dzsudzsak stepped up to take the spot-kick, and coolly slotted home to make the score-line 1-1.
The Flying Dutchmen started to assert their authority yet again after the equaliser, and managed to restore their one-goal lead in the 19th minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Martins Indi. Sneijder curled in a free-kick inside the
penalty area, and the Dutch stopper made no mistake in heading the ball into the back of the net.
Moments later, the Dutch had a golden opportunity to double their advantage, but Lens’ effort was not enough to beat the Magical Magyars goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ádám-Bogdán-c3516.
Although, the visiting side dominated proceedings until the half-time break, they failed to extend their lead further.
Netherlands resumed proceedings in the second-half in the same manner, and enjoyed lion’s share of ball possession. In the 53rd minute, Lens managed to double his side’s lead. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ákos-Elek-c4168 intercepted a Sneijder’s pass,
but the ball fell straight into the path of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 star, whose powered a left-footed shot found the bottom right corner of the net.
The Magical Magyars started to show aggression after going two goals behind, and came close to pulling one back. However, the Oranje goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maarten-Stekelenburg-c22998, made a brilliant save to deny Tamas Priskin from close range.
Sneijder, on the other end, tried his luck from range, but saw his effort struck the crossbar. However, the Flying Dutchmen did manage to add another goal to the score-sheet in the 74th minute. Lens set up Klaas-Jan
Huntelaar inside the box, and the Schalke striker tapped in with ease to seal the game 4-1 in favour of the visiting side.
Netherlands sit comfortably at the summit of the Group D after winning both of their games, and will play their next 2014 World Cup qualification game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andorra-c2837 on October 12.
