The Netherlands hosted Canada this Thursday, in a friendly game. After a sleepy first half, the home team became disenchanted in the second half and won 4-0. While the home team prepares to compete in the European Championship, the visiting team makes adjustments for the Copa América.
Before that, the two teams will play another friendly match. The Netherlands host Iceland next Monday, at 3:45 pm, at the Feyenoord Stadium. Canada, in turn, visits France this Sunday, at 4:15 pm, at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium.

All of Holland’s goals came only in the second half. After five minutes, Frimpong received the ball on the right wing and crossed to Memphis Depay, who just completed it to open the scoring.
Then, it was Frimpong’s turn to score. Once again from the right wing, the full-back tried to cross, but the ball was hit by the defense and fell to the feet of the Dutchman, who shot and scored the second, in the 11th minute.
At 17, Weghorst, who had just entered, took advantage of a rebound from the Canadian goalkeeper and scored the Netherlands’ third with his first touch of the ball. After a corner kick, Virgil Van Dijk rose higher and, with a header, gave the final score to the match, in the 38th minute.
