It was a fitting tribute.

Corry Evans takes a knock in the face after an accidental clash with Marten de Roon in midfield. There are a few concerned faces on the N.Ireland bench, but he seems to be okay to continue.

STAT: Northern Ireland have won four of their five EURO 2020 qualifiers. They have suffered one loss but have won both away from home. This is obviously the biggest ask yet.
4'
HEAD-TO-HEAD: This is the seventh meeting between the nations. Holland have won three times with Northern Ireland triumphing on just the one occasion. The last time the sides locked horns, Oranje romped to a 6-0 success back in 2012.
3'
The hosts are piling on some early pressure. Northern Ireland have found themselves dealing with some dangerous situations already down the left. Another one ends with a defensive header that drops for van Dijk, but the Liverpool defender volleys well wide from distance.
2'
Just prior to kick off, tributes were paid to former Holland and Rangers favourite Fernando Ricksen and Dutch international Humphrey Mijnals. Both sadly passed away recently.

Koeman on Virgil van Dijk: "He has a great personality and also one of the reasons he is the captain. He is an example for the team and an example for the nation. We are really proud to have him as a captain in the national team. Winning the title of best European player is an incredible achievement for him. He had great support from the people in Southampton. He had great support with the staff and supporters of Liverpool. They won the Champions League last season, they're doing really well and they are strong."
