Memphis Depay matches record for the Netherlands 👉😤👈 | OneFootball

The forward Memphis Depay reached a historic milestone for the Netherlands this Tuesday (10).

The Corinthians player equaled Robin van Persie as the top scorer of the national team of all time, with 50 goals.

And he needed little time to reach the record in Thursday's game against Malta, in the World Cup qualifiers.

Memphis scored two goals in the first 15 minutes of the match, the first from a penalty and the second with a beautiful first-time finish.

Interestingly, he and Van Persie reached 50 goals having played exactly the same number of matches for the national team: 102.

The Netherlands started the day sharing the lead of Group G in the qualifiers with Poland.

Both teams have won the two matches already played in the group, which also includes Finland, Lithuania, and Malta.

Only the first place in the group qualifies directly for next year's World Cup.

The second place goes to a playoff involving 16 European teams competing for four spots.
