He made his debut for the Netherlands in June 2005, coming on as a substitute for Ruud van Nistelrooy in a 2–0 victory over Romania. His first international goal came in his next appearance for the Netherlands, scoring the final goal in a 4–0 win against Finland in Helsinki during the qualification campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup., Van Persie is the Netherlands' all-time top scorer, with 50 goals in 102 appearances, ahead of Memphis Depay (45 in 92) and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (42 in 76).
