The match in Hungary ended in a 1-1 draw, with the home team taking the lead thanks to a goal from Roland Sallai. However, the Netherlands' chances were dealt a blow when Van Dijk received two quick yellow cards in just three minutes, resulting in his dismissal from the game.
The Oranje skipper was first booked for dissent and then soon after received another yellow card after bringing down Kevin Csoboth.
It was Van Dijk's first red card for Holland on his 77th appearance.
Holland eventually equalised via Denzel Dumfries.
