Morocco vs Netherlands 1-2 Highlights & Goals
International Friendly, 31 May 2017.
0-1 Quincy Promes
0-2 Vincent Janssen
1-2 Mbark Boussoufa
Morocco 1 Netherlands 2: Promes and Depay shine as 10-man visitors hold on.
Netherlands won their first match since sacking Danny Blind despite going down to 10 men against Morocco.
Quincy Promes scored once and set up another as 10-man Netherlands held on to record a 2-1 away victory over Morocco in Agadir.
Interim boss Fred Grim was in charge before Dick Advocaat begins his third spell at the helm and he had to cope without key players Daley Blind, Arjen Robben, Kevin Strootman and Georginio Wijnaldum.
But after handing a debut to Chelsea defender Nathan Ake, Grim saw Promes put the visitors ahead in the first half following great work from Memphis Depay.
Promes set up Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen to double Netherlands' lead after the break with his fifth goal in 10 international starts, a strike that looked like it would ensure victory.
But the Dutch had to hold on in a nervous finish to the contest after Matthijs de Ligt became their youngest-ever player to be sent off, with Mbark Boussoufa scoring from the resulting free-kick.
Netherlands, whose return to form is welcome after they had won just once in five matches, are back in action with a home friendly against Ivory Coast on Sunday, before they meet Luxembourg in World Cup qualifying on June 9.
