The Netherlands national football team showcased a dominant performance as they defeated Canada 4-0 in an international friendly match. The game saw Jeremie Frimpong play a pivotal role, scoring a goal and providing an assist to help secure the victory for the Dutch side.
Memphis Depay, the standout forward, notched his 45th international goal by converting Frimpong’s well-placed cross from the right flank. Bayer Leverkusen‘s Depay then doubled the lead with a clinical finish with his left foot from close range.
Wout Weghorst extended the Netherlands’ lead after capitalizing on a mistake by Canada’s goalkeeper, Dayne St. Clair. St. Clair’s error led to a simple tap-in for the tall striker, further solidifying the Dutch advantage.
The Dutch captain, Virgil van Dijk, capped off the impressive performance with a headed goal late in the game, adding to the team’s commanding 4-0 victory over Canada. The Netherlands team is gearing up for the upcoming European Championship in Germany, with a match against Iceland on the horizon.
On the other hand, Canada, led by new coach Jesse Marsch, will be participating in this year’s Copa America and is scheduled to play a friendly against France as part of their preparations for the upcoming events. The match served as a valuable test for both teams as they continue their preparations for the upcoming tournaments.
