Match Report

Canada lost 0-3 to Netherlands in the opening match of the IFCPF World Cup Sevilla 2019. Netherlands scored early and then added two more goals in the last 15 minutes, but it was a key save by Dutch goalkeeper Stefan Boersma that helped seal the result for the winners.

Frederick Bambact-Gerard's goal in the fifth minute stood up for nearly three quarters of an hour before Canada's Samuel Charron nearly equalised in the 48th minute. Charron's left-footed shot was tipped by the goalkeeper off the post. Jeroen Saedt doubled the score for Netherlands just a minute later and then he scored again in added time.

On the opening goal, Bambacht got around his defender before firing his shot past the goalkeeper. Netherlands then had a chance to equalise in the second half in the 39th minute on a penalty attempt, but captain Jeron Schuitert shot it above the goal.

In the 49th minute, Saedt made it 2-0 on a pass from Luc Pierre. On the play, it was Harm Panneman who did the bulk of the work with his dribble down the pitch. Then in the 62nd minute, Saedt made it 3-0 after an initial Pierre shot was saved by goalkeeper Damien Wojtiw.
