ROTTERDAM — Jeremie Frimpong scored a goal and set up another as the Netherlands showed its class, blanking Canada 4-0 Thursday to spoil Jesse Marsch's debut as Canadian men's soccer coach.
Weghorst made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute, punishing goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair when he could not hold on to a Jerdy Schouten shot. Weghorst was Johnny-on-the-spot as the ball came straight to him. The Canadians had nine defenders in the box but could not prevent the goal. Nine of the Canadian starters play their club football in Europe, with only St. Clair and Bombito plying their trade In Major League Soccer.
The talent available to Dutch manager Ronald Koeman was on display when van Dijk came off the bench in the 72nd minute. The Liverpool captain cost his club 75 million pounds when he came over from Southampton in January 2018 for a then-world-record transfer fee for a defender. The Canadians worked hard from the get-go, using an aggressive press to corral the Dutch. Millar shot high in the ninth minute after taking a feed from Davies, who had joined the attack.
