Dirk Kuyt staked his claim for inclusion in Holland squad for Euro 2008 with the opening goal in a comfortable 3-0 win over Ukraine on Saturday.
The Liverpool striker has been included in Marco van Basten's 26-man preliminary party but, having been left out of the squad for the friendlies at the start of the year, is still fighting to seal his place on the plane to Austria and Switzerland.
He did his chances no harm though with a fine header midway through the first half before fellow frontman Klaas-Jan Huntelaar doubled the Dutch lead.
Another Liverpool man, Ryan Babel, rounded off the victory after the break.
Hungary produced a superb second-half comeback to defeat European champions Greece 3-2.
Erwin Koeman's side scored three times in the space of 16 minutes after the break to give Otto Rehhagel's men plenty to think about ahead of the defence of their crown.
Balazs Dzsudzsak, Roland Juhasz and Krisztian Vadocz were all on target after Ioannis Amanatidis had given Greece the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Nikos Liberopoulos struck late on to reduce the deficit, but Greece will have to improve when they come up against Europe's finest in Austria and Switzerland.
Valon Behrami scored one and made another as Euro 2008 co-hosts Switzerland warmed up for the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Slovakia.
The Lazio striker slid home the opener before setting up Alexander Frei as Kobi Kuhn's side saw off their stubborn opponents with two goals in eight second-half minutes.
Patrick Muller, who left Lyon without permission on the eve of Saturday's Coupe de France final in order to prove his fitness to Kuhn, played 77 minutes before being replaced by Johan Djourou.
Croatia warmed up for the tournament with a 1-0 win against Moldova, but their victory was anything but convincing.
Nico Kovac scored the only goal of the game after 31 minutes but coach Slaven Bilic will have plenty of food for thought as his side struggled to break down a poor, defensively-minded Moldova team and gave away the ball too easily.
