Thomas Muller's shot was saved by Jeroen Zoet, but it landed back at the feet of the German striker, and he made no mistake second time round.

But it was game on just three minutes before half-time with a fine goal scored by Luciano Narsingh.
Gaston Rodrigo Pereiro Lopez played a defence-splitting ball that was controlled and then fired home in off the far post by Narsingh.
