Newcastle keeper maintains clean sheet in international debut for Netherlands

Newcastle United's goalkeeper Tim Krul has described his international debut against Brazil as "a dream come true." Krul's clean sheet helped the Netherlands to a 0-0 draw in their international friendly in Goiania. And the 23-year-old - whose appearance came following the absence of Maarten Stekelenburg and Michel Vorm through injury - was delighted to keep a clean sheet against Brazil. Krul said: "This is like a dream come true for me. Making your debut like this gives a fantastic feeling.

Amazing

"It was an amazing evening and I am very happy. It went really well, although I admit that I had some luck as well when Erik Pieters cleared a ball off the goal-line. "Keeping a clean sheet against Brazil is quite something."
