AMSTERDAM -- Yannick Carrasco scored a late equalizer and teammate Romelu Lukaku squandered two good chances as Belgium came from behind to draw 1-1 with the Netherlands in the 126th Low Countries derby on Wednesday.Ajax captain Davy Klaassen had given the Netherlands the lead from the penalty spot in the 38th minute as the neighbors played a friendly to prepare for their World Cup qualifiers on Sunday.Belgium had been looking forward to the return from a string of injuries of captain Vincent Kompany, but the Manchester City defender pulled out of the starting lineup just before kickoff as a precaution.The Netherlands was missing an injury-prone captain of its own, but Arjen Robben is fit and expected to play Sunday for his first international in a year when the Dutch take on Luxembourg in Group A.It was unclear whether Kompany would be back for Sundays game against Estonia in Brussels. Belgium hasnt missed Kompany yet in its Group H qualifying campaign, scoring 13 goals and conceding none as it won its first three matches.But his absence was felt as the Netherlands had the best of a scrappy first half, with Vincent Janssen twice getting in behind the Belgium defense -- only to run into goalkeeper Simon Mignolet both times.The two collisions took their toll on the unproductive Spurs striker and he was substituted in the 25th minute, pointing to his head as he left the pitch.The Netherlands finally broke through when a long ball by Georginio Wijnaldum found Jeremain Lens. Jan Vertonghen, playing at the Amsterdam Arena for the first time since leaving Ajax for Spurs in 2012, grabbed Lens shirt to bring him down.Klaassen hammered the resulting penalty high into the roof of the net.Belgium started without a classic deep center forward, instead playing with a mobile front three of Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens and Carrasco. Their speed and positional switches caused problems for the Dutch defense, but they did not carve out any clear-cut chances before the break.We were well organized and didnt give much away, Netherlands captain Wesley Sneijder said. But we didnt create much, either.Belgium coach Roberto Martinez replaced Mertens with Lukaku in the 63rd and the powerful striker twice came close to levelling the scores 15 minutes later, first seeing a shot deflected wide and seconds later miscuing an effort from close range when he should have scored.Instead it was Carrasco who finally made Belgiums pressure pay, with his shot deflecting off defender Joel Veltman and looping over Maarten Stekelenburg in the Dutch goal in the 82nd minute.As Belgium poured forward looking for the winner, Lukako squandered another close-range chance and Stekelenburg saved well from Hazard to ensure the scores stayed level.The team played a good match, Carrasco said. The second half we were going for goal.Nacer Chadli Jersey . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Mousa Dembele Belgium Jersey . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. http://www.belgiumsoccerpro.com/Jan-Vertonghen-Belgium-Jersey/ . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. Koen Casteels Belgium Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Marouane Fellaini Belgium Jersey . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes.Steph Curry helped Golden State take a 2-0 lead over Cleveland in the NBA finals and celebrated by swapping shirts with Neymar.The NBAs regular season MVP scored 18 points in a 110-77 stroll that put the Warriors on course for a second straight finals success.And Currys Brazilian team-mates Leandro Barbosa and Anderson Varejao afterwards introduced him to the Barcelona star as the pair posed for photographs. Curry was quick to warn that the job is not yet done for Golden State, despite a dominant performance and the fact only three of the previous 31 teams to lead 2-0 have failed to win the finals series.Theres no point in celebrating or jumping up and down saying look at us, he said. Were two games away from winning a championship, but we still have to go out and get the job done.Its a trap to think that weve figured things out, that we have the perfect formula to beat Cleveland and they have no chance in the series.dddddddddddd Thats not how were supposed to think.
