Holland scrape a goalless draw against Brazil

RNW, 4 June 2011

Holland and Brazil drew 0-0

Holland and Brazil drew 0-0 in a friendly match in Goiânia on Saturday. There was a great deal of prestige involved, with Brazil gunning for revenge for last year's 2-1 defeat against Holland in the World Cup quarter finals.

In addition, it was the first home match for the Selecao who are also gearing up for next month's Copa América.

Both teams had a large number of chances, but neither side could find the net. Seven yellow cards were given, as well as one red, for Chelsea midfielder Ramires.
