Dutch crush Ghana

A storming attacking display late in the second half handed the Netherlands a convincing 4-1 win over Ghana in a pre-World Cup friendly in Rotterdam.

The Dutch, who will play in Group E of the World Cup against Denmark, Japan and Cameroon, led 1-0 at half-time.

They've now stretched their unbeaten streak to 18 consecutive matches under coach Bert van Marwijk, a new national record.

Ghana are also World Cup-bound and will hope to do better when they face Latvia at home in their final friendly on Sunday.

In other friendlies Australia beat Denmark 1-0 , Portugal defeated Cameroon 3-1 and Costa Rica beat Switerland 1-0.
