AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders will be one to watch tonight, with his future at San Siro up in the air. Reijnders is reportedly on the verge of signing for Man City and could really boost Guardiola's side at the Club World Cup 2025.

The Dutch have the ball in their half and rightly so as Finland sit deep and will look to counter on the break.

Oh no! Finland weren't hoping for that start as the home team's error allows Memphis Depay to sneak in and score past Lukas Hradecky to give his side a 1-0 lead.

Liverpool's new recruit Jeremie Frimpong drives in a neat cross from the left and is met by Denzel Dumfries but the Inter Milan defender fires it wide.

Minutes after missing out on scoring from a header, Denzel Dumfries makes no mistake this time as he buries in the game's second to give Netherlands a 2-0 advantage in Helsinki.

We are ten minutes away from half-time and stoppages with Netherlands 2-0 ahead in the game. Finland need a goal before HT to have some say in the game.

Approaching half-time and Netherlands are having a field day in Helsinki. The 2-0 margin seems to have flattered the visitors.

The Dutch are 2-0 up on the night and Finland have all the work to do if they are to get back in this one.

NED boss Ronald Koeman makes a change as he subs off booked Van Hecke and brings on Stefan de Vrij.

Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders goes in the book for a reckless challenge and is awarded the yellow card.

The home team look tired and devoid of ideas against the Dutch. With 70 minutes on the clock, it's hard to guess what will be their next plan of action be.

It seems the Netherlands are on the verge of capturing a superb win over the Finnish.

Win tonight for the Dutch could see them open their account in Group G with a victory.
