Highlights: Mexico beat Netherlands 3-2 in International Friendly

Mexico’s Carlos Vela (#11) is congratulated by team mates after scoring the first goal against the Netherlands

Carlos Vela scored two goals on his return to the Mexican national team as they beat the Netherlands 2-3 in Amsterdam. The former Arsenal and current Real Sociedad forward was playing his first international game in three years. Vela was suspended for six months in 2010 and later chose not to represent the national team until now.

Manchester United’s on-loan striker Javier Hernandez scored the third goal with Wesley Sneijder and Daley Blind scoring for the Dutch.

Robin van Persie was rested for this game as the Oranje lost their fourth game in five matches. It was a replay of the Round of 16 match at the World Cup where the Dutch came out on top 2-1.

Netherlands now play a Euro 2016 qualifier against Latvia in a must-win game as they are third in Group A behind Iceland and Czech Republic.
