Netherlands 2-1 Norway: The resilience of the 'Orange Tornado'
The Netherlands came from behind to win 2-1 against Norway in a friendly match at the Amsterdam Arena, with Tijjani Reijnders scoring the winning goal.
Norway played without two key players, Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, which clearly affected their attacking prowess. Nevertheless, the visitors still had a chance late in the game when Jorgen Strand Larsen nearly scored with a daring backheel shot, but Verbruggen made a crucial save.
Speaking after the match, Van Dijk said: "Overall, we played a good game against a strong opponent. We played better in the second half, partly because they ran out of steam. We had plenty of opportunities to score more goals and deserved to win."
With this result, the Netherlands extended their unbeaten streak to 13 matches. They will continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup with a match against Ecuador, while Norway will face Switzerland in their next series of friendly matches.
