Van Persie a doubt for United after Holland star hauled off at half-time with thigh injury
Manchester United forward Robin van
Persie was taken off at half-time with a suspected thigh injury in
Holland’s 4-1 World Cup qualifying win in Hungary.
Jeremain Lens' early opener was
quickly cancelled out by a penalty from Balazs Dzsudzsak, but Bruno
Martins Indi scored to give the Dutch a 2-1 half-time lead.
Lens hit his second and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar struck it the second half to ensure a convincing win.
Roberto Soldado's 86th-minute winner saved Spain from an embarrassing goalless draw with Georgia in the opening match of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Valencia striker, starting for the world champions ahead of Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres, swept the ball home following a short corner to spare the visitors' blushes.
Soldado was the only change to
the side that started the Euro 2012 final victory over Italy, but
Vicente del Bosque's side were far from at their slick best and almost
went behind when Alexander Amisulashvili struck a post.
France topped Spain's Group I after making it two wins out of two with a 3-1 triumph over Belarus.
Etienne Capoue put Didier Deschamps side in front early in the second half and Christophe Jallet added a second.
Les Bleus had a scare when Sergey Kornilenko missed a penalty and Anton Putsila did score a minute later, but Franck Ribery settled the nerves 10 minutes from time.
Germany continued their 100 per cent start to Group C with a 2-1 win in Austria.
Goals from Marco Reus and a Mesut Ozil penalty either side of half-time had Joachim Low's side in control, Zlatko Junuzovic pulling one back for the hosts.
Sweden won their opening game 2-0 at home to Kazakhstan, Rasmus Elm and Marcus Berg on target.
Italy got their first win in Group B with a 2-0 success over Malta.
After a 2-2 draw with Bulgaria in their opener, goals at either end of the match from Mattia Destro and Federico Peluso gave the hosts three points.
Bulgaria joined them on four points after a bad-tempered 1-0 win over Armenia.
Stanislav Manolev scored the winner, but the highlight of the second half was a flurry of red cards, Bulgaria's Svetoslav Dyakov and Armenia's Marcos Pizelli and Gevorg Ghazaryan all sent off.
Holland coach Louis van Gaal was keen to play down the substitution, telling SBS6: 'We took off Robin for
precautionary measures. It doesn't seem to be too serious, but you never know.
We didn't want to take any risks.'
The 29-year-old has netted four goals in three games for
Manchester United following his transfer from Arsenal last month. Van Persie
also scored in Netherlands' 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Turkey on
Friday.
