00:00Our official Alberto Tajaga Noriega comes from Peru. He has linesmen from Paraguay and from Sweden.
00:09Holland get us underway then in the white shorts and red shorts playing from left to right.
00:15They know really they need a victory to secure second place and that was what their count were hoping for.
00:22A trip to Dallas and a clash with Sweden in the second round.
00:27The first 20 minutes here I think is very important particularly for Holland to settle down.
00:32They made a very nervous start against Saudi Arabia in the game in Washington.
00:36In fact we're chasing the game from 16 minutes when Amin got in between Wouters and Koeman to put the Saudis in front.
00:45And it was only goals from this man Jonk and a rare header from Gaston Taument that saved some blushes for the Dutch.
00:53This is Wuyabond and he might strike one from range and he does but it's never really going to bother Ed Degui.
01:00And in fairness that was a wasted...
01:02This is Dennis Bergkamp for Holland.
01:08Cover challenge was a good one by Tricky.
01:12And away go Morocco again.
01:16And there's Pace on here and it's a dangerous situation.
01:19He's inside the penalty area.
01:21And he's claiming the penalty.
01:24He's certainly not going to get that.
01:25He's very disappointed by the decision.
01:28As Wiczka went across.
01:30Well, Wiczka was holding him and that was very close to being a penalty.
01:35Wouldn't want to be in the way of a Ronald Koeman power driver.
01:44This is Mark Overmars.
01:45Surely he wants to try and utilise the pace he's got to try and create an opening.
01:50But here it is three against one and the Moroccans are onside here.
01:53Had a great opportunity and he's blasted wide.
01:56Well, all credit to De Boer there for getting back.
02:00But really that was an excellent chance.
02:02And one which Nader should have done better with.
02:05And he knows it.
02:06Lovely ball through.
02:08And that was a straight race.
02:09Nader against Degui.
02:11And De Boer did very well indeed to put him off.
02:15Nader was through and did this kind of deflection off De Boer.
02:20He didn't have one or two knocks to nurse.
02:25So Wiczka then to take the throw for Holland.
02:28It's 0-0 in this final Group F World Cup tie in the Citrus Bowl in Florida.
02:35And the header comes in and it's over from Winta.
02:39And he knows he should have done much better there.
02:44Lovely cross in from De Boer.
02:47It was headed back and over by Aaron Winta.
02:52Well, it was a searching, teasing ball at the back there.
02:57Bergkamp and Winta.
03:00This is Ronald Koeman.
03:03Vaux in support.
03:06Coming up from the back.
03:09Winta.
03:11Yonk.
03:12In support again.
03:14There's a chance on here.
03:16And the keeper.
03:18Annamie just couldn't hold it.
03:20And Wim Jonk got his shot in.
03:25And Jonk in a sort of similar sort of range to where he scored before.
03:29Never really got hold of that.
03:33Just got to try and score one first.
03:35I don't think Morocco will get two.
03:37So one would be enough for Holland.
03:43Van Vossen.
03:44Still Van Vossen.
03:45It's a great run from Van Vossen.
03:46This is still Van Vossen.
03:47And his last touch set him down.
03:49The Dutch will score here.
03:50They've opened the scoring just before the break.
03:52And it's Bergkamp.
03:55Dennis Bergkamp gets a very important goal for Holland.
03:58At a time when they really needed some inspiration.
04:07One has to say on the balance of play they're a little unlucky.
04:10But the quality of the finish justifies why this man Bergkamp is deemed as world class.
04:18It was only a half chance.
04:21And he finished it with Sommerplan.
04:2842 minutes gone.
04:30And Bergkamp gets a very important goal.
04:34For Holland.
04:35Who lead here.
04:40It's his first goal of the World Cup finals.
04:45And he certainly enjoyed that one.
04:49Really they needed that so badly to settle down.
04:53Now they might turn it on.
04:55I think you'll find the Moroccans.
05:00Will struggle.
05:01That's a great scoring record he's got.
05:0419 now for Holland.
05:06And this is 33rd cap.
05:11And Holland.
05:14At the moment.
05:16Can relax a lot more than they could have done before.
05:20It was a very important goal for the Dutch.
05:23Make no mistake about it.
05:24Morocco now.
05:28With five of their players on yellow cards.
05:32Will try and chase.
05:33But they've got to be careful not to give the Dutch an extra man.
05:39And certainly looking towards the referee and the half time whistle now.
05:43Although a second goal would finally kill off the Moroccans.
05:47They might get it.
05:48Crumble.
05:49And only a fine save there from Alois.
05:52Kept them in the match.
05:54From Peter van Vossen.
05:59Second minute of stoppage time.
06:01And we won't have any more.
06:03Half time.
06:04And Holland lead by a goal to nil.
06:09And Bergkamp gets a very important strike for them.
06:13Just before the break.
06:17Those Dutch supporters.
06:19Must have been a little bit worried.
06:23At one stage.
06:24Because Morocco have had quite a lot of the play.
06:27It's very hot.
06:29It's very humid for them on the pitch.
06:31And at half time.
06:33The Moroccans are a goal behind.
06:35To Dennis Bergkamp's.
06:37Strike.
06:39Just before the break.
06:44Away we go at the start of the second half then.
06:47Morocco nil. Holland one.
06:49Dennis Bergkamp's goal.
06:51Separating the two sides.
06:52And the temperature.
06:54Well above 100 at the moment.
06:55In the.
06:58Citrus Bowl.
06:59Orlando.
07:04Shelter is the name of the game.
07:06But Holland.
07:08Have the advantage.
07:09Thanks to Dennis Bergkamp's goal.
07:12Three minutes before the break.
07:23This is Winter for the Dutch.
07:26With five Moroccan players already having.
07:29Yellow cards.
07:30They do run the risk.
07:32Of picking up a second.
07:34And then.
07:36Being off.
07:37Haji.
07:38Haji.
07:39Who plays for AC Nancy Lorraine in France.
07:40Haji.
07:41Haji.
07:42Haji.
07:43Haji.
07:44Haji.
07:45Haji.
07:46Haji.
07:47Haji.
07:48Haji.
07:49Haji.
07:50Haji.
07:51Haji.
07:52certainly doing that bringing off Huibon and on comes Haji so that's one of the players who
08:02had a yellow card who's left the striker
08:05and the Dutch will be
08:09incentivized by the fact that Belgium were a goal behind to Saudi Arabia you know Holland can still
08:18win this group and that would mean that we have a Holland-Ireland last 16 match
08:27but the Moroccans are coming back and equalized right at the start of the second half would you
08:32believe it it's Neyder who gets the goal and the Dutch here have been caught square
08:38Neyder in the center from the cross from the substitute had his first touch
08:48and we're aware with the markers
08:52and suddenly we have a contest
08:57Ed Dekui looks permused and Neyder gets the finish to the delight of the Moroccans
09:0547 minutes gone
09:11and suddenly it's 1-1
09:15the substitute cross and Neyder
09:18it's his third goal for Morocco
09:26suddenly Holland who one thought would be cruising at
09:34London in front through Bergkamp have now been really rocked by that goal and Dick Adverkart must be
09:46fuming and his side was so naive to get caught out like that
09:51well the Dutch have now got to start all over again
09:57what a start for this second half for Morocco
10:05this is Van Votem
10:17and suddenly the whole complexion of the game changes
10:24we've got another phase to it
10:26and Van Votem will surely win the free kick
10:31and again it's amazing that Sarbadi is complaining because it was blatant
10:38so
10:40Holland find themselves pegged back here
10:46Sarbadi was clearly
10:48a mixture of being held and holding there
10:54I think it's obstruction that he's actually been penalised for
10:56interesting to see if the hand does go up from the referee
10:59no it's a direct free kick
11:04floated in
11:04and
11:06not properly cleared
11:08suddenly
11:10the complexion of the game
11:12as I said is
11:13now
11:14and another chance here for the Moroccans but
11:27Barca couldn't take advantage
11:32and that was a fairly decent chance as well
11:41half time
11:48unexpected
11:49Holland to come through and win easily
11:51the Moroccans though have this free kick and it's driven
11:53wide and Dekui makes a brilliant save
11:56and Dekui really there had so little protection
12:02and Daudi really struck that with real venom
12:07it was a major chance
12:09and the Moroccans here are threatening
12:11Dekui there earned every penny of his fee
12:16Dekui with that wonderful save
12:18I don't think many of the Dutch realise that
12:22Dekui could strike one run at Koeman style
12:26as
12:29Peter van Vossen
12:31limps out of the frame
12:34now
12:35the obvious replacement would be
12:38De Boer but Brian Roy is coming on
12:41so Brian Roy replaces
12:44Peter van Vossen
12:46well here
12:46Daudi look at the wall
12:48it's non-existent
12:49and it curled
12:51and it was going in
12:52and it was punched away by Dekui
12:53that had pace
12:54in a fight here
12:56Koeman
13:01and now a bit of space
13:03now Roy
13:05can he get into the penalty area
13:07has he overdone it
13:08the volley comes in
13:09brilliant save
13:09Aloui denies Vinter
13:12and he struck it well
13:20I think it might have squeezed in
13:22Vinter plays the searching ball in
13:34and here's Bergkamp again
13:36still Bergkamp
13:37great chance
13:38it's two now
13:39Holland have the lead
13:40and Brian Roy gets the goal
13:42well now the group changes once again
13:45Roy
13:48who's going to Nottingham Forest
13:51has scored an important goal here for Holland
13:55that could mean such a difference to the group
13:58Roy drives it home
14:02and Holland have the lead
14:05he's left Foggia to go to Forest
14:08he's scored his sixth goal for his country
14:10and Bergkamp once again set it up
14:13and Brian Roy made no mistake
14:16he knows how important that is
14:1977 minutes on the watch when he scored it
14:24and Holland lead 2-1
14:26and Holland lead 2-1
14:27Holland lead 2-1
14:29and Holland lead 2-1
14:35well now
14:38well now
14:40you really need calculators to start working out the group
14:44by my reckoning the Dutch could win the group
14:47and that would mean that they would stay here and play Ireland
14:53and Belgium would be faced with the tough match
15:00and it'd be Sweden-Saudi Arabia
15:03but the Saudis could also win the group
15:08but the 2-1 scoreline I think just favours Holland
15:17however there must be more drama to come I would think
15:22judging by what we've had in the first 75 minutes here
15:26Morocco trying to snatch a goal that would really set us up for a frantic finish
15:33surely the Dutch won't fall for it twice
15:38important goal that for Roy for so many reasons
15:43international future as this takes a reflection
15:46and how did Degui stop that it's gone out for a corner
15:49it came off Valtors
15:52well if they get away with that they're lucky
15:55because this went out of play no doubt hit Valtors
16:00now watch this Degui saved it and you'll see in a minute it's out of play quite clearly
16:04well struck back just after half time to level up the Berkham goal
16:13so much can still happen and so much can still change
16:16as the shot comes in Degui comfortably makes the save
16:20and we're deep into stoppage time now
16:30still officially no more news from Washington
16:37so calculations about who plays what and where must remain unofficial at this stage
16:42but it could well be that the Group F is decided
16:51with Holland Saudi Arabia and Belgium finishing in that order
16:56and all credit to the Saudis who'll go to Dallas and take on Sweden
17:00a minute and a half of stoppage time
17:10and that's all there's going to be
17:12Holland have beaten a very stubborn Morocco by two goals to one
17:17and whilst we still wait for official confirmation from Washington
17:23we'll try and stay with you until we get that
17:26I can tell you that they are still playing
