90' +3

Slovakia have looked a bit sluggish since the restart and are somewhat shell-shocked by that score. There appears to be movement on their bench; they look set to make some swaps.
59'
Q. Promes has scored a goal for Netherlands! Assist by M. Depay.
What a strike from Promes! Netherlands are back on level terms with Slovakia as the striker drills home a right-footed effort from outside the box with a fine finish that slots neatly in at the bottom-right corner. The pressure tells for the visitors; it's 1-1 just before the hour.
Depay's delivery was a deft touch to set up the goal there; Netherlands are carrying themselves stronger in this half so far.

It's the last act of the half; the referee duly blows his whistle for the break.

31'
Play has now resumed and from the restart, Slovakia win themselves a free-kick in the own half, after Van Aanholt brings down Mak challenging for a high ball from Zoet.
29'
There's a delayed pause in play for Nemec to get treatement after that clash right now, with both teams making movements on the touchline. Is there the chance of an early change from either side?
27'
Off the crossbar! Kucka launches a looping shot from 25 yards out on the right that Zoet watches fly past him - and then rebound into open play. The keeper eventually regathers but not before taking out the chasing Nemec in the process, who drops to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
25'
Propper brings down Kucka with a clumsy challenge just inside the latter's half and Slovakia get a free-kick.

8'
A. Nemec has scored a goal for Slovakia! Assist by M. Hamšík.
Hamsik's pass was a wonderfully measured ball and the finishing header was a deft touch to tuck it behind the keeper. That score has brought Trnava to its feet in full voice; what a way to start this game for Slovakia.
First score to Slovakia! Out of a sparky break down the left wing, captain Marek Hamsik floats a peach of a cross into the box; Adam Nemec runs deep and rises above De Vrij six yards out in front to head it into the bottom-right corner past Zoet. The hosts have the lead inside the first 10 minutes.
7'
Van de Beek now fouls Lobotka on the left flank, just on the halfway line, and Slovakia get the free-kick which they take quickly to get the ball rolling.
5'

1'
We're underway in Trnava! Both sides exchange possession just inside the Slovakian half, though neither are rushing themselves in these opening moments.
Absent from their second consecutive World Cup, following a lone appearance in South Africa in 2010, Slovakia will feel unlucky to have been not in the mix this time around; aside from a defeat against England in September 2016 thanks to a late Adam Lallana goal, they are unbeaten at home under Jan Kozak and haven't lost a friendly on their own turf since 2011.
Team lineups now as we approach kick-off...
NETHERLANDS (5-3-2): Jeroen Zoet; Patrick van Aanholt, Daryl Janmaat, Daley Blind, Matthijs de Ligt, Stefan de Vrij; Davy Propper, Kevin Strootman, Donny van de Beek; Memphis Depay, Quincy Promes
Subs: Ryan Babel, Sergio Padt, Terence Kongolo, Virgil van Dijk, Marten de Roon, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jasper Cillessen, Ruud Vormer, Nathan Ake, Tonny Vilhena, Wout Weghorst, Steven Berghuis, Eljero Elia, Hans Hateboer
As for Netherlands, their non-appearance at Russia leaves a gaping orange-coloured void at the World Cup; having been beaten finalists in 2010 and third-place-playoff winners in Brazil in 2014, their failure to qualify for the first time since South Korea and Japan in 2002 is something of a shock. Ronald Koeman's subsequent appointment this year has produced two results so far; defeat to England and victory against Portugal. Can he make it two from three?
Hello and welcome to live coverage of this international friendly between Slovakia and Netherlands at Stadion Antona Malatinskeho in Trnava. With neither side headed to Russia and the World Cup after failing to progress from the qualification group stages last October, only pride is on the line between the two - so who will come up with international bragging rights? Kick-off is on the way.
The teams are out at Stadion Antona Malatinskeho and we're moments away from kick-off...
SLOVAKIA (4-3-3): Martin Dubravka; Tomas Hubocan, Peter Pekarik, Robert Mazan, Milan Skriniar; Juraj Kucka, Stanislav Lobotka, Marek Hamsik; Adam Nemec, Albert Rusnak, Robert Mak
Subs: Erik Pacinda. Jan Gregus, Lubomir Satka, Jaroslav Mihalik, Michal Duris, Ondrej Duda, Michal Sulla, Patrik Hrosovsky, Erik Sabo, Boris Sekulic
It's the hosts who have the lead in Trnava at the break, thanks to Adam Nemec's early header, and Slovakia haven't really relinquished their grip on this game since. Netherlands have threatened on occasion too in what has been a game see-sawing more than the stats suggest - but the hosts remain the ones in the driving seat. At half-time, it's Slovakia 1-0 Netherlands.
It finishes all square in Trnava as Quincy Promes' second half strike gave Netherlands a draw against Slovakia - but the hosts preserve their near-perfect home record in the past few years despite surrendering their lead. Neither side could snaffle a winner in the closing stages, despite going close on occasions - but at full-time, it finishes Slovakia 1-1 Netherlands.
With both sides not heading for Russia in the next few weeks, they only have one more game each before the new season starts in late July; Slovakia face off against Morocco and Netherlands tangle with Italy. Until then however, thank you for joining us - and have a good weekend!
