England spoiled Ronald Koeman's debut as the Dutch national coach, beating the hosts 1-0 here in a contest that offered plenty of pace but was lacking in polish. Friday's match pitted an English side headed to the 2018 World Cup against a Dutch squad who were eliminated in the European qualifiers, reports EFE news agency. Even so, the 50,000-seat Amsterdam Arena was full. England dominated for most of the game and were vigorous on the attack, yet they clearly suffered from the absence of injured top striker Harry Kane.
