Spain 's 2-0 defeat by Holland on Tuesday brought back bitter memories of their disastrous 2014 World Cup , but coach Vicente del Bosque will not be too worried about a third straight friendly defeat , insists Gerard Pique . Holland , whose 5-1 drubbing of Spain in the group stage in Brazil last year marked the end of the Iberian nation 's six-year domination of the world game , scored two early goals at the Amsterdam Arena and held on against some determined Spain pressure in the second half for a 2-0 success . They became the first team to inflict two defeats on Del Bosque since he took over in 2008 but the gruff 64-year-old had used the match to try out several new faces and he fielded a largely experimental , second-string team . Stefan de Vrij ( right ) headed Holland in front against Spain at the Amsterdam Arena on Tuesday . Gerard Pique ( left ) could do nothing to stop Davy Klaassen doubling the Dutch advantage . Malaga forward Juanmi and Sevilla midfielder Vitolo became the 55th and 56th players to debut under Del Bosque , while the likes of goalkeeper David de Gea , defenders Raul Albiol , Juan Bernat and Dani Carvajal and midfielder Mario Suarez all started the game . 'The national team 's state of health is good , ' centre back Gerard Pique told reporters . 'We are in a process where players are coming into the team and gathering experience , ' added the Barcelona defender . 'We are second in qualifying ( for Euro 2016 ) and these friendly games are for experimenting . ' I am not that worried about this match because we lost friendlies in previous years and then ended up winning titles . ' David de Gea was given a start by Vicente del Bosque but could not keep out De Vrij 's header here . Dani Carvajal ( centre ) was another squad player given a chance to impress against Holland . Del Bosque will be confident he can find the right mix of players to secure Spain 's berth at Euro 2016 in France next year , when they will be chasing an unprecedented third straight title . Slovakia are the surprise leaders in qualifying Group C thanks to a 2-1 win over Spain in Zilina in October and have a maximum 15 points from five of 10 matches . Spain are second on 12 points , three ahead of Ukraine , who they beat 1-0 in Seville on Friday . Del Bosque 's side host Slovakia in September in a match that could decide who goes through to the finals as group winners . 'The team is in good shape , ' forward Pedro told reporters . 'We have a very clear idea of our playing style and we are able to count on people who are gradually making a place for themselves in the team . '
