Netherlands thrashed Hungary 4-0 to maintain their 100 percent record in Euro 2012 qualifying group E on Friday with Rafael Van der Vaart opening the scoring after just eight minutes.
Wesley Sneijder set up Van der Vaart for a shot from 13 metres out that goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly could only tip into the left corner.
Ibrahim Afellay should have doubled the lead in the 32nd minute but the Barcelona striker made no mistake with his second chance on the stroke of half time.
Robin van Persie assisted Dirk Kuyt in the 54th to make it 3-0 and then grabbed his 20th goal in 53 games for the 2010 World Cup runners-up eight minutes later.
The Dutch, who beat the Hungarians 6-1 in a friendly before last year's World Cup in South Africa, now have 15 points from their five matches while Hungary stay second on nine.
The two sides will meet again in Amsterdam on Tuesday. Third placed Sweden have six points from three games, level with Moldova who have played one more.
