After the 1-0 win over the Armenian National Football team in Yerevan,
the Holland team practically secured their place in the 2006 World
Championship.

The win was not an easy one for the Netherlands National team, although
before the match no one doubted their winning. Our team had chosen
a defense tactics, besides, goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky was quick
enough to capture dangerous moments and save our team. Nevertheless,
the guests managed to break the defense, and at the 67th minute Ruud
van Nistelroy scored.

In the press conference after the match the Holland team coach Marco
van Basten said, “I never thought the Armenian team could create so
many problems for us and that it would be so difficult to win”.
