Both teams are preparing for major tournaments, with the Netherlands at EURO 2024 and Canada one of six guests at the Copa America in North America later this month. However, it is hard to believe that Canada will be able to withstand the attacking power of the Netherlands, who are said to be welcoming the arrival of a new generation of "Orange Storm".
Canada's rare attack was stopped
As expected, the home team Netherlands quickly took control of the game right after the opening whistle and created numerous opportunities to attack the goal. In the 38th minute, veteran Gigi Wijnaldum fired a diagonal shot that defeated goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, but center-back Derek Cornelius was able to retreat to save Canada right on the goal line. Brobbey missed another chance in a face-off with goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair at the end of the first half, leaving the audience even more regretful.
Memphis Depay opened the scoring
It was not until the second half that the Netherlands broke the deadlock. In the 50th minute, Jeremies Frimpong, who had a great season with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, made a perfect cross for Memphis Depay to tap the ball into the Canadian net from close range. Seven minutes later, Frimpong doubled the lead himself with a beautiful curling shot.
Jeremies Frimpong (12) played extremely well on the right wing of the Netherlands.
Canada were on the verge of collapse at this point. Substitute Wout Weghorst scored the third goal for the Netherlands in the 63rd minute, with a close-range rebound after goalkeeper St. Clair failed to catch the ball, before centre-back Van Dijk headed the ball high in the 83rd minute to seal a resounding 4-0 victory for the home team.
