[EURO2008] 荷蘭1-0小勝鄰居盧森堡
http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/EURO/FixturesResults/Round=2241/match=83664/report=RP.html
Joris Mathijsen's first international goal proved enough for the
Netherlands to make a winning start to their UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying
Group G campaign but Luxembourg can take heart from having kept the
score down thanks to goalkeeper Jonathan Joubert.
The Netherlands signalled their intentions in the opening minutes
as Theo Janssen shot wide and Robin van Persie's header from Mathijsen's
cross was well saved by Joubert. Van Persie then picked out Klaas Jan
Huntelaar but Joubert was on hand to deny the forward before Dirk Kuijt
saw his effort parried by the custodian. Another fine Van Persie pass
found Mathijsen, with Joubert again equal to the strike.
However, the breakthrough eventually came and Van Persie was the
creator as he combined with Mathijsen, whose initial attempt was blocked
before he made no mistake from close range. Sebastien Remy went in search
of the equaliser two minutes later but his long-range drive flew over the
bar and Joubert was back in action to block Denny Landzaat's header.
Edwin van der Sar's first save came in the 35th minute from Remy's shot
from distance, while at the other end Huntelaar nodded wide.
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink arrived at half-time and almost immediately
drew a save from Joubert with his header. The new Celtic FC striker again
engaged the keeper, this time along the ground, and then from close range
not long after the hour. Joubert produced yet another super stop with 20
minutes left to keep out Kuijt's shot, and the forward hit the post late on.
But the visitors' points were secure, and today's only Group G winners meet
Belarus on Wednesday. Luxembourg play Latvia in a friendly that day before
their next group game in Slovenia on 7 October.
