Blaise Matuidi nets winner on night of Cruyff tributes

Blaise Matuidi’s late strike steered France to a 3-2 victory over Holland on an emotional night at the Amsterdam Arena.

As had been planned, the friendly was temporarily halted in the 14th minute as a mark of respect for Johan Cruyff, the Dutch football great who died on Thursday.

There was also a poignant moment just prior to kick-off, with a minute’s silence being held in memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks in Belgium earlier this week.
