Internationals: Sari and Dominique feature in win

Dominique Janssen in action for Netherlands

Sari van Veenendaal and Dominique Janssen both played the full 90 minutes as the Netherlands began their Algarve Cup campaign with a 6-2 win over Japan.

Lieke Martens and Lineth Beerensteyn gave Oranje a two-goal lead within the opening 10 minutes, with Siri Worm and Shanice van de Sanden doubling their advantage before half-time.

Emi Nakajima and Mana Iwabuchi then struck for Japan, but Stephanie van der Gragt and Martens were on target to secure a comfortable victory for the Netherlands.

Van Veenendaal and Janssen could be back in action on Friday evening, when the Netherlands face Denmark in their second Algarve Cup group-stage match.
