http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in a friendly encounter at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday, February 29.
The Oranje started the match with nine of the eleven from the team that participated in the FIFA World Cup 2010 final. On the other hand, the Three Lions were starting the match with a new manager and a captain.
The Flying Dutchman commenced proceedings in a lively manner and bossed the possession. In the fourth minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling made a good interception
and cleared out the ball for a corner.
In the 28th minute, Stekelenburg made a decent save to deny Barry’s effort from the edge of the box. Although the Three Lions enjoyed some bright moments, the Oranje remained better of the two sides in the opening 45 minutes.
The Three Lions came close to breaking the deadlock early on in the second-half. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 star
from hitting the back of the net.
In the 57th minute, Netherlands broke the deadlock through Arjen Robben. Sturridge conceded possession to the Bayern Munich star, and the 28-year-old made an impressive run from the half-line towards the penalty area before firing a low shot past
the England goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699, into the back of the net.
Moments later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 doubled his side’s advantage. Dirk Kuyt made a decent run at the right flank before sending a cross inside the box, and the Schalke striker headed home with ease. Two goals in the span of two minutes clearly demonstrated
the gulf of class between the two sides.
However, the Three Lions replied strongly and pulled one back five minutes from time. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leighton-Baines-c21987 fed Gary Cahill upfront, who made no mistake in firing his low shot through the legs of Stekelenburg.
In the 90th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 played a neat ball inside the box for Ashley Young, who lifted the ball delicately over the sliding Stekelenburg into the back of the net to level the score-line. However, the Oranje never gave up and scored another
two minutes into the injury time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mark-van-Bommel-c24148 found Robben unmarked inside the penalty area, and the Schalke winger made no mistake in sending his curling effort into the back of the net to seal a thrilling 3-2 win at the full time whistle.
