The Spartak Moscow winger found the back of the net twice as Oranje got themselves up and running in Group A of the 2018 World Cup qualifying phase on Friday evening
Quincy Promes scored his first international goals as Netherlands sealed their first win of 2018 World Cup qualifying with a 4-1 victory over Belarus at De Kuip.
In his previous 14 Netherlands appearances Promes had failed to hit the back of the net, but he finally broke his duck when he squeezed a shot past three defenders and into the bottom-right corner in the 15th minute.
The 24-year-old winger netted his second with the help of a deflection before half-time, with Davy Klaassen adding to the hosts’ tally after Aleksei Rios had halved the deficit early in the second half.
Vincent Janssen capped a brilliant display when he slammed the ball into the top-right corner from 18 yards, and there was no way back for Aleksandr Khatskevich’s side, who were unable to test Maarten Stekelenburg, making his first international appearance since October 2012, in the Netherlands net again.
However, it was Promes who was the star of the show, ensuring the absence of Arjen Robben due to a rib injury was not keenly felt, though the withdrawal of Wesley Sneijder at half-time may provide Danny Blind with cause for concern ahead of Monday’s clash with France.
The defeat will be a blow for Belarus after opening their campaign with a goalless draw against France, but their next meeting with Luxembourg offers a chance to make up for lost ground.
Netherlands threatened down their right in the early stages and, after Janssen forced a save from Belarus goalkeeper Andrei Gorbunov and saw his shot from six yards blocked by Sergei Politevich, the breakthrough came.
