Ronald Koeman secured his first win as Netherlands boss with a thumping win over Portugal in Geneva. Goals from Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk, all in the first half, handed Koeman's men a 3-0 success in Switzerland. Portugal boss Fernando Santos himself made nine changes, after seeing his side beat Egypt three days ago courtesy of two injury-time Cristiano Ronaldo headers. Winning the ball back in their own left-back position, the Oranje swiftly countered and spread play over to the right, where skipper Van Dijk led the charge.
