Hiddink blasts fans who booed Iniesta

Netherlands manager Guus Hiddink has hit out at the supporters who booed Spain's Andres Iniesta during the international friendly between the two teams.

The Barcelona midfielder was heckled by the home support because he scored the goal that gave the Spanish a 1-0 victory over Holland in the 2010 World Cup final.

"It's a disgrace," Hiddink told reporters after his side's 2-0 win. "He's a world-class player and a wonderful person. At first I didn't notice it was about him. Was it because of his goal vs. Netherlands in 2010?

"It's unbelievable, this is about sport. What was he supposed to do? I can't understand this."

Stefan de Vrij and Davey Klaassen were on target for the Dutch in the friendly international.
