Yesterday's friendly for van Persie went a lot better than the last one. Pic via Guardian.
Netherlands 2 - 1 Mexico
- Robin van Persie picked up a brace in his return to international action as Holland beat Mexico 2-1 in Germany. Van Persie, playing his first game for the national team since rupturing ankle tendons in a previous international friendly in November, scored goals in the 17th and 41st minutes. Van Persie was, however, pulled in the 64th with tightness in his hamstring.
- Carlos Vela played the final 35 minutes for Mexico off the bench, two days after starting at Wembley.
- France struggled on home soil to beat Costa Rica 2-1 on Wednesday, needing an own goal to equalize before Mathieu Valbuena scored an 83rd minute winner, assisted by second half substitute, Abou Diaby.
- William Gallas started the match at center back and played the first half, while Bacary Sagna played all 90 minutes at right back.
