In the 23rd minute, the referee called Marko Jankovic’s action in the penalty area a penalty. Memphis Depay, who went to the white spot, did not forgive and gave the Netherlands a 1-0 lead.
Depay made history with this goal. The 27-year-old player scored his 36th goal for the Netherlands and surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy (35) to become the 6th top scorer in the history of the national team. Arjan Robben and Dennis Bergkamp are ahead of Depay with 37 goals.
Depay became the third player for the Netherlands to score 10 goals in a World Cup or European Qualifier.
12 – Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (2012 European Qualification)
11 – Robin van Persie (2014 World Cup qualification)
10 – Memphis Depay (2022 World Cup Qualifying 2022)
Depay also made history with penalty goals. Memphis, who scored the 9th goal from the white point, passed Ronald Koeman (8) and became the top goal scorer from penalty for the Netherlands.
