Holland coach Louis van Gaal is unhappy that his side didn't score more goals during Friday's 3-0 win over Andorra.

Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has claimed that his side's 3-0 victory over Andorra in Friday's World Cup qualifier was not won by a large enough margin.

Rafael van der Vaart, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Ruben Schaken were all on the scoresheet as the Oranje recorded a comfortable triumph in Rotterdam.

However, Van Gaal was unhappy that his players couldn't add further to their tally.

"I said before the match that it would be difficult for us to open up the game," he told Dutch television channel SBS6.

"These teams like Andorra always play very defensively, so that makes it a hard task. My prediction came true, because we won 3-0 and that's not enough."

Friday's win has seen the Dutch top Group D on goal difference with three wins from their opening three games.
