Netherlands vs Ivory Coast

Drogba (left) with Bakary Kone, who scored the first goal for Ivory Coast in the 38th minute.

Kone fired home a spectacular shot from the edge of the penalty area after a driving individual run.

It was the first goal the Dutch had conceded in 11 competitive matches, ending Van der Sar's international clean-sheet record at 1,013 minutes.

The Dutch had not let in a goal in their previous 10 non-friendly encounters, an all-time European record.
