Dutch 'keeper Jasper Cillessen must've been in several minds between the sticks as French free-kick specialists Dimitri Payet and Antoine Griezmann stood over the ball from just over 20 yards. It was the latter who was left with set-piece duties, and he dispatched it perfectly to give his country the advantage over the Netherlands in Friday's friendly.
It's an emotional evening at the Amsterdam Arena, the home of Ajax, as the Oranje faithful mourns the loss of Johan Cruyff on Thursday.
