DUTCH DELIGHT
There were also wins for the Netherlands, who beat fellow finalists Ecuador
1-0 in Amsterdam, Portugal, who beat fellow finalists Saudi Arabia 3-0
Duesseldorf and Switzerland, who won 3-1 at Hampden Park against Scotland, who
have not won a friendly international there for 10 years.
Spain twice came from behind to beat fellow finalists Ivory Coast 3-2 in
Valladolid to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games. Central defender Juanito
headed the winner five minutes from the end.
The United States also did well to beat fellow finalists Poland 1-0 in a
snowstorm in Kaiserslautern.
But the weather proved too much for Belgium, whose match against Luxembourg
was called off after 64 minutes with the Belgians leading 2-0 because a blizzard
in Luxembourg made conditions impossible to continue.
