London, March 27:

The Netherlands rallied to beat Austria 4-3, and David Beckham made his 100th international appearance in England’s 1-0 loss at France in two of the friendlies involving the 16 European Championship teams.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored two goals, including the winner in the 86th, as the Dutch rallied from a three-goal deficit at Austria. Defending champion Greece, Germany and Romania also won, while Poland, Sweden, Russia, Portugal and Switzerland lost and Croatia, the Czech Republic and Turkey played to draws.

Austria were leading 3-0 in Vienna off two goals from Sebastian Prodl and another from Andreas Ivanschitz.

But Huntelaar started the comeback in the 38th, with John Heitinga and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink also scoring to make it 3-3.

Sweden lost to Brazil 1-0 in a rematch of the 1958 World Cup final that was held in London. Alexandre Pato scored in the 72nd minute, helped by a major blunder from substitute Sweden goalkeeper Rami Shaaban.

Mario Gomez helped his chances of making the Germany squad for Euro 2008 with two goals and an assist in a 4-0 win over Switzerland. Gomez set up Miroslav Klose for the first goal in the 23rd and scored in the 61st and 67th minutes in Basel Lukas Podolski added the fourth in injury time.

With England failing to qualify for the European Championship, the team hoped for a win to mark Beckham’s 100th appearance for his national team. But Franck Ribery scored from the penalty spot in the 32nd after England goalkeeper David James had raced off his line to foul Nicolas Anelka.
