The Netherlands beat the United States 2-1 in a World Cup warm-up on Wednesday.
Dirk Kuyt converted a 39th-minute penalty after Jonathan Bornstein had fouled Wesley Sneijder. Klaas Huntelaar got the second in the 72nd, firing in a close-range shot that took a deflection off Bornstein.
Captain Carlos Bocanegra scored a consolation goal for the United States, heading home substitute DaMarcus Beasley's cross in the 88th minute. It was the Americans' first ever goal against the Netherlands.
The match was the final warm-up before U.S. coach Bob Bradley names his squad for the World Cup, where his team has been drawn into Group C with England, Slovenia and Algeria.
