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.
