Brussels was the host for the latest edition of our 'Framed' series as Belgium invited neighbours Holland to jump over the garden fence for for a friendly kick around in their back yard. Capturing the scenes as the golden era hosts took on a resurgent wave of Oranje.
An international interruption to the domestic season for many, but not for these two great footballing nations. The Belgians hungry after a taste of World Cup success versus a young Dutch squad equally as determined to muscle their way back into the heavyweight mix after missing out on the 2018 shin-dig in Russia.
Under the glowing lights and in front of the historic terraces of the King Baudouin Stadium the game finished in a 1-1 draw as Arnaut Groeneveld scored his first international goal for the visitors to cancel out Dries Martens early opener for Belgium. A shared result for two bordering nations that shared a European Championship in 2000. Expect both to be in the mix twenty years on.
