Netherlands 2 - 1 Finland
Euro 2012 qualifiers · 2010-09-07 Referee: Alexei Nikolaev

maybe

it

was an interesting match, The Netherlands were really great in the first twenty minutes and then the Fins came back and had a couple of good chances on goal. The match was never really boring and that was thanks to the Dutch losing it a bit and to Nikolaev's refereeing. He didn't stop play for every little foul, but by doing tso he may have missed one or two slightly more important ones.
I don't think his assistants were good enough though.
