Kazakhstan vs. Netherlands: Score and Reaction from Euro 2016 Qualifier

The Netherlands kept their hopes of qualifying for UEFA Euro 2016 alive with a 2-1 win over Kazakhstan on Saturday, only their fourth of the qualification campaign.

Georginio Wijnaldum gave the visitors a one-goal lead late in the first half and Wesley Sneijder doubled the advantage early in the second half. Islambek Kuat's goal came too late, temporarily moving the Oranje into third place in Group A.

Turkey and the Czech Republic will play later on Saturday, with the former the Dutch's only threat to a spot in the play-offs and the latter already assured a spot at the tournament.
