00:03That's a good ball as well, oh the header, oh my word, Van Persing with an absolute stunner.
00:14Celebrates with his coach, the Dutch have their equaliser and it comes with a splash of style.
00:27What about this? There didn't seem much on here when Dele Blink collected it, clearly onside by several yards, the
00:37delivery was perfect.
00:39The finish even more so. Robin van Persie in full flight and the Dutch with a terrific response.
00:53Guzman, Schneider, Robin looking to reach and does, his second touch puts him in range, his third finds the back
01:03of the net.
01:05They have turned it right around, two golden goals and from 1-0 down, the Dutch lead by two goals
01:16to one.
01:17There was a real Spanish-type feel to the way the Dutch were playing leading up to this, keeping hold
01:22of possession.
01:23Robin's touch was immaculate and a finish superb.
01:26And Aika Casillas, who before today had only been beaten on a handful of occasions, only five goals in major
01:34tournament finals.
01:35Aika Casillas before today will know he's been beaten twice in the space of eight minutes either side of half
01:41-time.
01:42And Holland are rattling to hold us.
01:51Here's Wesley Schneider with the cross.
01:54Oh, it's Bumbleman!
01:56Bumbleman on the far post.
01:58Nothing wrong with that.
01:59De Vrij gets the final touch.
02:02Would you believe this scoreline?
02:05Spain 1, Netherlands 3.
02:09Stefan de Vrij's first international goal.
02:13The Netherlands third on the night.
02:16They cannot believe it.
02:18I'm not sure which body part that came off last.
02:21It started on his head.
02:22It might have rolled down his knee.
02:25It could come off his backside as far as he's concerned.
02:28He's just got an international goal at a World Cup Finals.
02:32And Holland are in heaven.
02:42Well, Casillas has to hurry.
02:44Dispossessed.
02:45Van Persie.
02:46It's a fourth.
02:48Unbelievable.
02:51This is now reaching the realms of Dutch fairytale.
02:55The holders are not being beaten here tonight.
02:57They are being humbled and humiliated.
03:01Casillas concedes again.
03:03And it was his mistake.
03:08Well, this will send shot waves around the football world.
03:12And we've still got 18 minutes to play.
03:16Wow, this is sensational.
03:19And they know it.
03:20Don't they know it?
03:23It's not going to get too carried away.
03:25It's only one game.
03:25But my word, what a game.
03:26What a performance.
03:27And what a scoreline.
03:28And here comes Robben again.
03:30Look at the pace here.
03:31Arjen Robben.
03:34Controls.
03:35Robben.
03:36Robben.
03:37Easy.
03:39High fives all around.
03:43Arjen Robben took his time to make absolutely sure.
03:46And we are now absolutely sure that Holland are creating one of the World Cup stories, certainly of this tournament
04:00so far.
04:01But one of the great stories of recent years.
04:06Casillas was left floundering.
04:09So too the Spanish defence.
04:125-1.
04:15Nobody expected this Spanish Inquisition.
04:20Towards McGowan.
04:21It's away by Blint.
04:24Robben.
04:24He's got away from Wilkinson.
04:26Arjen Robben has Blint to his left.
04:28He might go all the way himself.
04:30And Arjen Robben scores.
04:34It's his third goal of this World Cup.
04:37And he's now scored in seven of his last eight international appearances.
04:43Dutch delight in Porto Alegre.
04:47And it all stems from Australia being unable to challenge there.
04:54Wilkinson was left.
04:55Robben was away.
04:56We've seen his pace already at this World Cup.
04:59And he showed it once more.
05:01Didn't ever really look as though any of the two teammates who were forward with Arjen Robben were ever going
05:06to get a pass from him.
05:07He was always going for goal himself.
05:09Despair for the Socceroos.
05:12The talk after the 5-1 victory over Spain was all about managing Dutch expectations.
05:19Australia said, judge us on our performance in the last 70 minutes against Chile.
05:25Not on our opening 20-minute performance.
05:27Van Persie.
05:28He's onside.
05:292-2.
05:34Now it's Dutch delirium in Porto Alegre.
05:38Robben van Persie.
05:41Like Arjen Robben gets his third World Cup goal.
05:46He's onside.
05:48Played onside there by Jason Davidson.
05:50And he's not going to miss from there.
05:54Bozanic.
05:57Just tied it up.
05:59By Jan Mat.
06:01All given away by Vlaar.
06:03Mackay nips in.
06:04A real chance here for Australia.
06:06Oh, it's saved on the line.
06:10Lekking.
06:11Chesting the ball towards goal.
06:14And perhaps Tommy Orr should have had a shot instead of putting a cross in.
06:19What a moment for Australia.
06:22Could and maybe should have been then back in front.
06:29Depay.
06:30It's in.
06:31Memphis Depay for Holland.
06:35And the Dutch lead by three goals to two in this incredible Group B game.
06:43The Netherlands almost conceded a third at one end and then immediately went up the other and scored a third
06:52themselves.
06:54Memphis Depay.
06:55Memphis Depay.
06:55You can see the little gap that opens up in front of him.
06:59There's a curl on the ball.
07:01And Memphis Depay gets his first goal for the Netherlands.
07:05And what a goal as well.
07:08It puts them 3-2 ahead.
07:14It's in.
07:15What a fair impact from Leroy Föhr.
07:21The substitute.
07:23Who's been on a matter of moments.
07:26And he has put the Dutch in front.
07:29The ball whipped in by Jan Mat.
07:32And Föhr was there.
07:33And look how nobody is really marking him in a Chilean shirt.
07:38And the Netherlands lead here in Sao Paulo.
07:42And they're on course for a third win out of three.
07:46First header.
07:48De Jong.
07:49Robben.
07:52Aiyan Robben.
07:55Depay's made a run into the middle.
07:56Depay!
07:57That's it.
07:59Victory for the Netherlands.
08:04Three wins out of three in Group B.
08:07Nine points out of nine.
08:11Memphis Depay on as a substitute in two matches.
08:17And he has now scored in both.
08:20And the Netherlands win Group B.
08:24Corner number ten.
08:26Whatever the outcome.
08:27Full marks to Netherlands for throwing everything at Mexico in this second half.
08:32In comes the latest corner.
08:33Ochoa got it wrong.
08:35But might get away with it.
08:36Schneider!
08:371-1!
08:40Three minutes from time.
08:43Wesley Schneider rescues the Dutch.
08:48Boy, did they leave it late.
08:50And having had another terrific afternoon, Ochoa will have to share his part of the blame here.
08:55He came.
08:57He didn't deal with it.
08:58And by the time Schneider unleashed his drive, Ochoa had no chance.
09:06Robben.
09:08Always away here, Robben.
09:10Always done brilliantly.
09:11Goes down.
09:12Penalty!
09:13Marquez couldn't prevent himself from sticking out of boots.
09:18And Robben tumbles.
09:20And the Netherlands have a penalty in injury time.
09:24Well, how cruel is this for Mexico?
09:27Three minutes ago, they were within minutes of the quarterfinal.
09:32Then the Schneider equaliser.
09:35Now a penalty in injury time.
09:39For Netherlands to go through to Saturday's quarterfinal.
09:46Huntelaar against Ochoa for a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
09:52Huntelaar scores!
09:56Last state.
09:57Here we come.
09:59And what heartbreak for Mexico.
10:03World Cup finals that have just heaped drama after drama after drama.
10:09Injury time penalty from the substitute Huntelaar.
10:14And it could not have been struck any better.
10:17There will be tears for those wearing green on and off the pitch.
10:27Robben's header on to Van Persie.
10:30Van Persie to Robben.
10:31Iron Robben into the Brazilian penalty area.
10:33And that might just be a spot kick.
10:35It certainly is.
10:37Robben dragged down.
10:40And problem upon problem for the Brazilians in their own country.
10:44And Robben van Persie, with three goals in these World Cup finals,
10:49is up against Julio César, beaten seven times in the last match.
10:55Five times in the first 30 minutes.
10:57So, Van Persie against Julio César.
11:051-0 Netherlands.
11:06And this World Cup gets worse and worse by the minute for Brazil.
11:11It's another stunning start for them to overcome.
11:14Scolari stands, arms folded.
11:18His reputation, almost dare I say, in tatters at the moment.
11:22Certainly with the Brazilian public.
11:23Smashed high beyond the left hand of Julio César.
11:28Van Persie doesn't often miss from the penalty spot.
11:31He scored in the shootout victory.
11:33That was against Costa Rica.
11:36But in the third minute, Brazil 0-0.
11:39The Netherlands 1.
11:42And this man, Robben, accompanying Van Persie in attack.
11:46This is dangerous again.
11:47The Brazilians are stretched.
11:49If the cross is good here, it might be a second for them.
11:51Oh, that's an awful clearance.
11:532-0.
11:54The Brazilians are punished for some horrible defending again.
11:58And the man who's taken the credit is Daley Blint.
12:02No wonder Van Persie smiles.
12:05It's Blint's first ever international goal.
12:07And his dad on the touchline leading the applause alongside the coach.
12:12Well, what is happening to Brazil in these World Cup finals?
12:17They're leaking goals like a sieve.
12:20Robben questioned possibly of offside.
12:22But it's pulled back in there.
12:24But it's David Luiz who heads it straight out to Blint
12:27who just smashes it back into the top of the net.
12:30Horrible, horrible defending from the £48 million man.
12:35And Daley Blint says,
12:36Thanks a lot, I'll have that.
12:38I'll have an international goal to my name.
12:402-0, Netherlands, in the 17th minute.
12:44They don't go much easier.
12:48Five added minutes.
12:50That's the decision of the officials.
12:53It's going to take something tumultuous for this Brazilian side
12:58to win back the favouritism of the fans.
13:02Robben.
13:03Jan Mat.
13:04Oh, it might be number three.
13:06It is.
13:06And that just about rounds off the World Cup finals.
13:09So far as Brazil are concerned,
13:11the goal scorer is Gini Wijnaldum.
13:17It's Brazil 0-0, Netherlands 3.
13:21And a nation's sorrow is complete.
13:24Wijnaldum with his second international goal.
13:27His first came against San Marino in an 11-0 win.
13:32I think he may remember this one a little more.
13:36The Brazilian defence again,
13:38all at sea.
13:39And Wijnaldum smashes it wide of the left hand of Julio César.
13:43It's another humiliation.
13:46A second in the space of five days for Brazil,
13:48for whom the World Cup has turned into torture.
13:51A second in the future.
