Netherlands warmed up for a vital 2018 World Cup Qualifier next week
with an emphatic 5-0 friendly win against Ivory Coast on Sunday.
The Dutch are struggling to make it to Russia next year, placed only
fourth in Group A on seven points behind leaders France (13) Sweden (10) and
Bulgaria (9). They play Luxembourg next. With Dick Advocaat officially becoming their new manager on Tuesday it
was assistant Fred Grim in charge
for the Rotterdam encounter against an Ivory Coast side now coached by former
Belgium boss Marc Wilmots.
Capitalising on defensive errors Holland went into the break three goals
to the good thanks to a double from Joel
Veltman and a penalty from Arjen
Robben. Davy Klaassen and Vincent
Janssen completed the scoring deep in the second half.
