Holland 3-1 Sweden 19th November 2008

Holland 3-1 Sweden
Sweden suffered defeat away to Holland last night as the Dutch came away with a 3-1 win. Arsenal's Robin Van Persie gave Holland the lead on 33 minutes before making it 2-0 on 50 minutes.
Holland had chances with Dirk Kuyt coming close on a few occasions and Sweden had their share of chances with Larsson coming close.
Kim Källström silenced the home crowd with a delightful shot from outside the area on 51 minutes. Despite Michel Vorm getting a hand to the shot Kim Källström still got the goal.
Sweden tried to push for an equalizer but Holland looked more likely in getting a 3rd goal. That 3rd goal arrived in injury-time when a fine cross was headed in by Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt. So Holland win but Sweden had their chances.
