In a match filled with goals galore in Holland, City were just edged out 4-3 by their Dutch opponents.
However, ahead of this Saturday’s league opener at home to Arsenal, it was a more than useful test for Paul Harsley’s young side.
Lorenzo Gonzalez and Nabil Touaizi both found the target for City in the first half with Benjamin Garre adding our third goal midway through the second period.
