Dutch open Nations League campaign with thrilling win over Bosnia

The Netherlands suffered no hangover from their semi-final exit to England at Euro 2024 with a thrilling 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Eindhoven.

Joshua Zirzkee was handed his first international start and rewarded Ronald Koeman within 13 minutes with his first goal for the Oranje.

Ermedin Demirovic hit back quickly for the visitors against the run of play.

However, Tijjani Reijnders capped his excellent display with the Netherlands' second goal just before half-time.

Cody Gakpo tapped in Reijnders' low cross to make it 3-1 before Edin Dzeko again hauled Bosnia back into the game.

But late goals from Wout Weghorst and Xavi Simons gave the scoreline the reflection the Dutch dominance deserved.

Next up in the Nations League for Ronald Koeman's men is a mouthwatering clash with old rivals Germany in Amsterdam on Tuesday.
