http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 and Luciano Narsingh’s strike turned things around in favour of Bert van Marwijk’s men before Nils Petersen levelled the tie for Mario Gomez
to net the winner.
Bayern Munich claimed an impressive 3-2 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/May-22-c39884.
The Bavarians started the match brightly despite still feeling the pain of a heart breaking UEFA Champions League final defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in front of the Allianz arena faithful.
In the sixth minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Vorm-c25482.
After putting constant pressure on the World Cup 2010 runners-up’s defence, the Bundesliga giants broke the deadlock in the 17th minute. Toni Kroos unleashed a powerful shot from 25 yards that found the top left corner
of the net, leaving Vorm helpless between the sticks.
The Oranje, however, responded aggressively and restored parity only a minute later. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 set up Klaas-Jan Huntelaar upfront and the Schalke striker made no mistake in finding the bottom left corner of the net.
Two minutes later, the Flying Dutchman took the lead through Luciano Narsingh. The Heerenveen winger played a quick one-two with Rafael van der Vaart before http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 towards the penalty area and chipping the ball over the Bavarians
goalkeeper, Hans-Jorg Butt.
Despite taking the lead, the Oranje failed to impress at Allianz Arena, as Die Roten continued to threaten the visiting side.
In the 27th minute, the home side managed to level the score-line when Nils Petersen added his name to the score-sheet. Kroos set up http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivica-Olic-c17399 on the left flank, who sent in an inch-perfect cross for Petersen, and the
striker headed perfectly from close range to level the score-line.
Although Netherlands failed to assert their authority in the opening 45 minutes, they resumed proceedings brilliantly after the half-time break and came close to breaking the deadlock on a number of occasions.
Wilfred Bouma headed wide of the target while Adam Maher’s powered long-range effort was parried away by Butt. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 came off the bench in the second-half for the first time, but the winger was constantly booed by the home
fans.
Franck Ribery missed the target from a narrow angle after he rounded off Vorm in the 78th minute, much to the dismay of the Bavarians head coach, Jupp Heynckes.
Three minutes before the full time whistle, Die Roten netted the winner through Mario Gomez. Ribery skipped past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486 at the right before setting up Gomez, and the lanky striker tapped in from close range.
In their preparation for Euro 2012, Netherlands will play their next friendly encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bulgaria-c2861 at Amsterdam Arena on May 26.
