Reijnders Grabs Winner as Netherlands Fight Back to Beat Norway in Friendly
Tijjani Reijnders scored the winner as the Netherlands ended a 13-match unbeaten run by overcoming Norway despite missing key players.
- On Friday, the Netherlands defeated Norway 2-1 in a World Cup warm-up clash at the Amsterdam Arena, with midfielder Tijjani Reijnders scoring the decisive goal in the 51st minute.
- Norwegian midfielder Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring in the 24th minute, beating goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen with an outstanding individual effort that cut past fullback Denzel Dumfries.
