The game started off slowly for the fans and it did seem to be a bit disappointing.
But on the 23th minute was a goal. England got a corner kick and Beckham took it. Campbell headed it but it was blocked by the Dutch keeper. Luckily Nolan got the rebound and scored a goal for England.
England's second goal also came from corner. Beckham kicked the ball to Jansen. Jansen had to turn before taking the shot but he scored it.
Holland turned up the pressure away that and got a goal on the 48th minute. Campbell hacked van der Meyde in the area and van Nistelrooy was able to score a penalty.
Holland's second came on the 72th minute when Hofland got the ball off Ameobi and forward. He then gave the Kluivert who was in space. He went to the box and smashed the ball in the left corner.
