Group B	Arena de Baixada, Curitiba	Australia	VS	Spain
Group A	Estado Nacional, Brasilia	Cameroon	VS	Brazil
Group A	Arena Pernambuco, Recife	Croatia	VS	Mexico

Netherlands won over Chile by 2 points. After a very slow first half, Leroy FER (18), Midfielder from Ukraine, as his first touch of the game served a goal at 77’ of the second half. Leroy FER heads it perfectly down and away from Claudio Bravo (1) of Chile.  It was followed after with another goal by Memphis Depay (21), Forward, after Arjen Robben made a great run and passes off to Memphis Depay who tucked it away in the corner, just beating Marcelo Diaz to the ball, which gave the NEDs all nine points in Group B.

On the other hand, Spain was able to restore a piece of its pride by beating Australia in a 3-0 concurrent match. First goal was from  David Villa with a lovely finish. Iniesta played a superb ball behind the Australian defence which sets Juanfran away, the Atleti fullback gets his head up and cuts back to Villo who, in acres of space, backheels the ball past Ryan. Fernando Torres (6) added another score for the Spaniards. Fernando Torres splits the Australian defence with an incisive pass, and the Chelsea forward has the simple task of sidefooting past Ryan. 

Do You Know?

That this is Torres’ first World Cup Goal since Germany 2006.

 Juan Mata (13), Forward, found his way deep inside the Australian penalty area after a chipped through ball from Frabregas. The Manchester United man brought the ball under control before calmly slotting the ball through Ryan’s legs.
