Score: Netherlands(2) vs Slovakia(1)
18′ Robben (Netherlands)
84′ Sneijder (Netherlands)

Recap

As I have said in the pre-game for Netherlands vs Slovakia, Netherlands cruised through the group stage unchallenged and the return of star dutch man Arjen Robben only makes Netherlands win in the bag. Arjen didn’t wait long enough as he quickly scored a goal on the 18th minute.

Netherlands held the lead until the 84th minute when Sneijder sealed the victory.

Vittek from Slovakia came in with a goal on the 90′ + 4; it was a heroic effort but not enough.

Key Takeaway

Netherlands is expected to move deeper into the tournament and they did just that. Netherlands have enough firepower to score goals and with Arjen back in full gear, things are looking good for Netherlands.
