The report cards of Holland – Dumfries devastating outside, De Ligt an impassable wall

Stekelenburg 6 – Virtually idle.
Dumfries 7.5 – A force of nature. He plows the right wing and the Austrians never manage to catch him. When they succeed, as in the case of Alaba, they knock him out and get a penalty. He also finalized a splendid counterattack by becoming a surprising Euro 2020 top scorer.
The Free 6.5 – He gets along perfectly with his comrades in the ward, he suffers little, he is always punctual in the closures.
7 – He comes back after the injury and with him on the pitch it’s a whole different music. He takes them all, sacrificing himself or anticipating the opponent. Give Stekelenburg an evening as a non-paying spectator.
Blind 6.5 – Sets, closes, gives a hand in midfield. Defender of great flexibility and experience. Precious this evening too. (From 64 ‘ What 6 – Ordinary administration).
Van Aanholt 6 – A few good lunges to the left. On his side there is no risk. (from 65 ‘ Wijndal 6 – It fits well into a game that is already downhill).
The Roon 6 – He does the so-called dark work, circumnavigating the median, pressing and trying to retrieve balls. Less glossy in the setting phase. (From 74 ‘ Gravenberch sv).
Wijnaldum 6.5 – Like De Roon, a lot of racing and a lot of substance. Some good verticalization.
Frenkie de Jong 7 – Level test. Play head-on, tackle and flip the action.
Weghorst 5.5 – Generous, even too much. And in fact he wastes a goal scored by deciding to serve Depay an assist (later wasted). In a match against an inferior opponent, he can’t scratch too much. (From 64 ‘ Grind 6.5 – Log in and time three minutes packs the assist for the 2-0 with a splendid counterattack. He also has the opportunity to score).
Depay 7 – Alternating current, but when it turns on there is none for anyone. Score the penalty that unlocks the game and triggers the 2-0 action with a perfect verticalization for Malen. It’s enough. (From 82 ‘ Luuk de Jong sv).
Coach Frank de Boer 7 – It will also be contested at home, but against Austria he does not miss anything: solid and close-knit defense, two winger who are constant dangers, a midfield that knows how to filter and overturn the maneuver and two forwards who complement each other. He understands when it’s time to strike from the counterattack and Malen’s move in the second half is spot on. Holland is first with a turn to spare and it is right to give them the merits.
