The Dutch skipper stooped to head home a brilliant cross from club teammate Ryan Gravenberch to kickstart his side's campaign and also grab his first ever World Cup goal.Â
In the process, he tied one legendary Netherlands defender for goals scored and sits behind another one as the oldest player to score for the country in the tournament.Â
The veteran's goal was joined by three more as the two countries played out a second half thriller.Â
Van Dijk set the tone though and, having confirmed he will retire from duty after the tournament, looks determined to sign off in dream style.Â
