YELLOW! Diomande lunges in on Sneijder and goes into the book.
89'
CHANCE! Promes gets in on the right, passes the ball back for Berghuis, who leaves the ball for Ramselaar. The shot finally comes in, but it's misdirected and flies high and wide.
88'
SAVE! Outstanding goalkeeping form Cillessen! Cyriac looked certain to score, meeting a left-wing cross with a close-range volley, but the goalkeeper dived across his path to block magnificently.
87'
Three corners in quick succession for Netherlands as Ya Konan nudges the ball behind and then Aurier slices consecutive set-pieces narrowly off target.
Ivory Coast finally clear and Sneijder, from a deeper position, crosses too high and too long.
84'
B. Ramselaar enters the game and replaces K. Strootman.
SUB! Netherlands' final change sees Bart Ramselaar take Strootman's place.
82'
Gervinho looks to lead the charge for a late consolation, but, pushed wide on the right, his cross falls short of the near post. After a promising start, Ivory Coast have faded badly.
80'
Seri shoots tamely wide from the edge of the box, with frustrated team-mates up in support.
78'
Q. Promes enters the game and replaces A. Robben.
SUB! And, completing a new front-line, Quincy Promes enters in place of Robben.
77'
S. Berghuis enters the game and replaces M. Depay.
B. Dost enters the game and replaces V. Janssen.
SUB! Steven Berghuis is on, too, replacing Depay.
SUB! And that's it for Janssen! On comes Bas Dost.
76'
Janssen is offside as he looks to reach a cross, hoping to instantly double his tally, but Netherlands are dominant here.
Minute
Description
75'
V. Janssen has scored a goal for Netherlands!
GOAL! At long last, Janssen has his goal! Five for Netherlands! He holds the ball up, tees up Sneijder for a shot, blocked, Wijnaldum follows up, saved, and Janssen is on hand to turn in the rebound. 5-0.
72'
SAVE! Ivory Coast finally offer a response and Gervinho draws a good save from Cillessen as he runs towards the edge of the box and shoots high.
71'
D. Ya Konan enters the game and replaces W. Kanon.
SUB! Kanon is off for Didier Ya Konan.
70'
W. Sneijder enters the game and replaces D. Klaassen.
SUB! Wesley Sneijder is on for goalscorer Klaassen and it's cap 130 - he draws level with Edwin van der Sar as Netherlands' record appearance maker.
69'
D. Klaassen has scored a goal for Netherlands! Assist by V. Janssen.
Janssen, often hopeless in front of goal today, created that goal with a fine pass from near the corner flag.
GOAL! Klaassen has the fourth goal Netherlands deserve! Unmarked, again, in the middle, he slides a finish into the bottom-left corner. 4-0.
66'
Y. Gervinho enters the game and replaces N. Pépé.
SUB! Gervinho is on for Pepe.
CROSSBAR! Unbelievable effort, unbelievable save! Depay curls from distance on the left, seemingly picking out the top-right corner until Sangare tips the ball onto the woodwork. The corner is scrapped clear. Fantastic football.
65'
SAVE! Wijnaldum is straight into the mix, too! Klaassen sets the Liverpool man through on goal, but Sangare blocks well at his near post.
64'
G. Wijnaldum enters the game and replaces D. Pröpper.
SUB! Davy Propper makes way for Georginio Wijnaldum, born in Rotterdam and once a player here for Feyenoord.
63'
Diomande is immediately involved, shooting from range, but he blazes over.
62'
I. Diomandé enters the game and replaces F. Kessié.
SUB! Ismael Diomande replaces Kessie for the visitors.
61'
D. Blind gets yellow.
YELLOW! And a first card for Netherlands as Blind charges into Pepe as Ivory Coast break at speed.
59'
J. Seri gets yellow.
YELLOW! Seri goes into the book as he fouls Klaassen, who accepts an apology.
58'
SAVE! Netherlands win a free-kick on the right and Robben whips it in, almost catching out Sangare, who punches clear. The hosts work another crossing opportunity and, as Sangare flaps at the low centre, the ball is hooked clear.
55'
CHANCE! Janssen again! An awful miss. He does well to jink away from the visiting defence after Davy Klaassen's pass, but, with just the keeper to beat, the Tottenham forward drags horribly wide.
54'
Deli meets the set-piece, but his header, from a narrow angle, never threatens to test Cillessen.
53'
Corner to Ivory Coast! A fine move ends with Pepe cutting inside from the left, his low curler deflecting away off Blind.
51'
CLOSE! Oh, what a chance for Netherlands! Janssen refuses to shoot when through on goal and tees up Robben, who cannot work a return pass. Robben finally shoots and curls just wide.
48'
The set-piece, from Seri, passes through the box and Netherlands clear with Robben.
47'
Janssen won the penalty with a run in behind in the first half and he has continued to make those movements since the break. He has twice been caught offside in the opening two minutes of the half.
Cyriac makes a bright start and forces a corner from Martins-Indi on the right...
46'
G. Cyriac enters the game and replaces G. Sio.
E. Bailly enters the game and replaces I. Traoré.
SUB! Sio is also off, with Cyriac coming on.
SUB! Eric Bailly replaces Traore in the first of Ivory Coast's changes.
KICK-OFF: Janssen and Netherlands get us started again.
45'
HALF-TIME: Netherlands 3-0 Ivory Coast.
It's not quite clicking for Depay and Robben, but they are causing the visitors some problems. They combine again and the flag goes up against Depay, who did not look to be offside.
44'
Frustration for Janssen as he attempts to tease a one-two pass through for Robben, but manages to foul two defenders in the process. Deli goes down, but quickly recovers as a foul is given.
42'
Netherlands win a corner on the left and, from it, Robben looks to have a simple tap-in in the middle. However, Sangare was fouled in the build-up and the whistle blows.
41'
A mix-up between Robben and Depay costs Netherlands the opportunity to attack again! Aurier and Sio had collided in attack for the visitors, allowing Robben to break, his pass through the defence coming just as his team-mate slowed his run.
39'
Ivory Coast are knocking the ball around well again in the Dutch half, but their poor defending has almost certainly cost them this game. They will need a goal soon to retain any hope.
36'
J. Veltman has scored a goal for Netherlands! Assist by A. Robben.
From a short corner, following his own fine run, Robben dipped inside to pick out Veltman with a wonderful, curling cross to the back post.
GOAL! It's Veltman with his second! Ivory Coast have been in this game from the off, but their defending, from set-pieces in particular, has been woeful. Veltman is completely unmarked to prod into the net. 3-0.
35'
Ivory Coast's response has not been so swift this time, with Netherlands instead taking control. A fine, fine challenge from Simon Deli denies Robben the opportunity to score again.
32'
Penalty goal scored by A. Robben for Netherlands!
PENALTY! Janssen draws a foul from Sangare on the corner of the box and, after some Ivory Coast pressure, the hosts have a chance to double their lead.
GOAL! Robben scores! Sangare cannot make amends as the Dutch captain coolly fires his spot-kick inside the left-hand post. 2-0.
31'
CLOSE! Blind heads the set-piece clear but Traore is there to meet the ball and thunders a strike just over the top.
30'
This game is flowing nicely from end to end. Pepe wins a corner from Bruno Martins-Indi on the Ivory Coast right...
29'
SAVE! Netherlands head up the other end and Depay lets fly from distance. Sangare holds well.
28'
Sio battles to reach a bouncing long ball into the Netherlands final third, but, after shrugging off the advances of Tete, he lashes wildly wide.
26'
Cillessen claims the corner kick, too. Excellent goalkeeping on his return to the side.
25'
POST! This is a fine stop from Cillessen, turning Maxwel Cornet's firm header onto the post. So close to a debut goal for the Ivory Coast forward.
24'
Ivory Coast are just trying to force the issue in possession a little more now as they trail, but the Dutch are quick to counter. A couple of good breaks have been halted by last-ditch challenges.
22'
CLOSE! Seri fancies a goal today! Pepe tees up a shot for him, 25 yards from goal again, and he curls just over the top.
21'
Kenny Tete chases his own loose touch and dives into a challenge on Traore with his studs up. He got the ball, though, and it's a free-kick only.
19'
Fine work from Kessie on the left to hold off two challenges and cross, but his centre is low and straight at Cillessen, who bowls the ball out for another Netherlands charge.
18'
Robben hits his stride for the first time, but Wilfried Kanon makes a sublime recovery tackle as the Netherlands captain heads for goal.
16'
Decent effort from Sio! Serge Aurier delivers a speedy cross and the forward, from quite a way out, nods over the top.
15'
Another save for Cillessen as Ivory Coast come again, but this is comfortable as Seri's strike deflects through a crowd of bodies from some 25 yards.
13'
J. Veltman has scored a goal for Netherlands! Assist by M. Depay.
Corner to Netherlands! Grim's side finally make their way up the pitch, lose the ball and then press to win it back. Ismael Traore gifts the ball to Blind, who charges forward and sees a shot deflected over.
GOAL! From the set-piece, Joel Veltman is unmarked and, via his shoulder, he nods into the bottom-right corner. 1-0.
Depay delivered the corner, superbly picking out the Ajax defender for his first international goal.
12'
The longer the hosts take to move the ball forward, the further back they are being pushed by Ivory Coast. Despite bossing possession, the Dutch are struggling to venture out of their own half right now.
10'
Netherlands go outside this time, Depay slipping a pass down the line, but Daley Blind blazes his cross behind. Disappointing.
9'
Ivory Coast are strangling the play well. Depay and Robben are both cutting inside to be met by a wall of defenders so far.
7'
Netherlands' first effort of note comes from the left boot of Vincent Janssen, a goalscorer against Morocco, but he fires a long way over the crossbar.
5'
Jean Michael Seri's set-piece is excellent, but Netherlands just about clear. The counter comes to nothing, though.
4'
Ivory Coast are moving the ball at a fine pace in the final third and Nicolas Pepe has forced a corner with a run in behind the Dutch back-line...
3'
A decent response from the hosts as Kevin Strootman is fouled and Memphis Depay delivers a teasing free-kick. Badra Ali Sangare holds on.
2'
SAVE! But the first chance falls Ivory Coast's way! Some neat passing created space for Giovanni Sio on the left, but he shot straight at Cillessen, who palmed clear.
1'
KICK-OFF: Ivory Coast get us under way!
Netherlands have had all of the possession since winning the ball from their guests, but Marc Wilmots' men are pressing hard in the opening minute.
FULL-TIME: Netherlands 5-0 Ivory Coast.
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of an international friendly between Netherlands and Ivory Coast from De Kuip!
This is a third and final game in charge for interim Netherlands coach Fred Grim, having lost to Italy and beaten Morocco, before Dick Advocaat takes charge of a home World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg on June 9.
The Dutch are currently in a disappointing fourth place in their qualification group, six points short of France in top spot.
Ivory Coast, meanwhile, are rather more comfortable - top of CAF's Group C - and they will turn their attention to Africa Cup of Nations qualifying after this clash, with an opener against Guinea to come.
Jasper Cillessen collects his first cap in exactly a year for the Netherlands in one of eight changes to the side which beat Morocco. Ivory Coast include Franck Kessie, who signed for AC Milan this week.
The sides' only previous meeting came at the 2006 World Cup, where Netherlands ran out 2-1 winners in a group stage clash. Current Dutch captain Arjen Robben - starting today - played the full 90 minutes.
And the teams are now making their way out onto the pitch!
We've had the national anthems and the teams are just about ready for the off...
Two goals for Veltman and one for Robben have Netherlands in a commanding lead, but Ivory Coast have attacked well at times. Poor marking and decision-making have cost them.
Subs: Cisse, Kacou, Cyriac, A Traore, Bailly, Bagayoko, Boga, Gervinho, Diomande, Doumbia, Ya Konan.
That's all from Rotterdam and this international friendly. Thanks for joining us and, until next time, goodbye!
There's no stoppage time, with the game long since over as a contest. Veltman scored twice, Robben, Klaassen and Janssen once, with Sneijder matching Netherlands' all-time caps record.
