2010 FIFA World Cup: Netherlands v Japan 1-0 In this twenty-fourth match video, we relive the game played between Netherlands v Japan. The Netherlands put themselves on the brink of qualification for the last 16 with a hard-fought victory in Durban over an impressively stubborn Japan side. Wesley Sneijder’s powerful 52nd-minute winner from just outside the box settled a fascinating Group E contest between two contrasting sides who opened up in the second half and were creating good chances right up to the final whistle. The Dutch will qualify for the knockout stages before their final group game if Cameroon fail to beat Denmark later on Saturday, and are still likely to go through regardless. Japan came into the match off the back of their first World Cup win on foreign soil after beating Cameroon 1-0 on Monday. And the afterglow of that historic achievement was evident in the admirable tactical nous they executed in the first half as they stifled the Netherlands’ search for fluid creativity with regimental efficiency in front of a near-full Moses Mabhida Stadium. The Dutch, who are now unbeaten in 21 matches, started like a team full of quiet confidence as they kept possession well and used the width of Dirk Kuyt on the right and Rafael van der Vaart on the left. Inter Milan midfielder Sneijder had the first clear chance but, on this occasion, could not keep his long-range shot, from a free-kick, down – a common sight in South Africa as players struggle to tame the much-criticised Jabulani ball.
