The long run of Wales clean sheets came to an end as they were beaten 2-0 by Holland in a friendly in Rotterdam.

After four games without conceding a goal, the former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben finally beat Wayne Hennessey, scoring on the break just before half-time.

His Real Madrid team-mate Wesley Sneijder scored from a free-kick in the second half.

Jason Koumas was named Wales captain for the first time and Craig Bellamy came on as a late substitute to earn his 51st cap.

Bellamy forced the Holland goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to make one save with his legs.

Freddy Eastwood came close for Wales with another chance.
