The PSV Eindhoven forward netted a brace, and provided an assist as well to help his side claim an impressive win over Sandor Egervari’s men in their second match of the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hungary-c2920 in the 2014 World Cup qualifier encounter at Stadium Puskas Ferenc on Tuesday, September 11.
The PSV Eindhoven forward was included in the starting XI in place of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521, who missed the game due to an injury, and had a terrific outing.
The 24-year-old scored the opening goal of the evening in the third minute, when he headed home a Luciano Narsingh cross from the right flank.
Lens admitted that the first goal set the tone for the whole match.
“The trainer and I discussed set-pieces, then I did what I had to do. That goal did help. Thus you are instantly comfortable in the game”, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar attacker was quoted as saying to OnsOranje.
The Oranje asserted their authority in Budapest right from the kick-off, and took the lead within three minutes of play through Lens. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Narsingh on the right flank, who played a quick one-two with Robin
van Persie before sending a cross inside the box for the 24-year-old to head home.
Hungary responded impressively, and restored parity only four minutes later. Jordy Clasie brought down Zoltan Gera inside the box, and Balazs Dzsudzsak coolly slotted home from the resulting spot-kick.
However, the Oranje dominated proceedings afterwards, and grabbed the lead in the 19th minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 stopper unmarked inside the penalty area, and he made
no mistake in finding the back of the net to score his first international goal.
Lens doubled his side’s advantage after the half-time break with a neat finish, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 sealed the game 4-1 for the Oranje in the 74th minute.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 attacker could have completed his hat-trick, but he preferred setting up the Schalke striker.
And the Dutchman revealed that every player must help out each other on the pitch to claim a good result.
“For the fourth goal I passed the ball to [Klaas-Jan] Huntelaar. It was the easiest option. You must give each other something, which I did”, Lens concluded.
