Early goals from captain Georginio Wijnaldum set Netherlands on their way to a 3-1 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in their Uefa Nations League clash on Sunday.
Victory in Amsterdam was the first for the Dutch under new coach Frank de Boer, who replaced Ronald Koeman in September.
Wijnaldum, who has taken over as Dutch skipper from injured Liverpool teammate Virgil van Dijk, opened the scoring after six minutes and put the home side 2-0 up seven minutes later at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
Memphis Depay put the Netherlands 3-0 up early in the second half before Smail Prevljak pulled one back for Bosnia, whose defeat means they are now relegated from League A.
The victory will come as some to relief to De Boer, who was winless in his first four matches at the helm and also kept alive Dutch hopes of winning Group 1.
The Netherlands sit second, a point behind leaders Italy, who brushed off the absences of several players and coronavirus-hit coach Roberto Mancini with an impressive 2-0 victory over Poland.
The Azzurri will be sure of a place in next October's finals with victory over the Bosnians in Sarajevo on Wednesday.
The Dutch are away at Poland in their last game also on Wednesday.

Hydrogen: Market potential
Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.
"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.
Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.
The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
