The side also included five players who have played for the Dutch national age group teams plus an Argentine who appeared for his country at the Junior World Cup last year. But the youngsters did not appear awed by the opponents.

Pieter Swart's forceful angular flat hit struck the right corner of the board off diving goal keeper Awais's stick. A good game where the vast experience of the Klein Zwitserland was the decisive factor.
