2014 FIFA World Cup - Group B Match 2 - CHILE VS AUSTRALIA - Second Half Highlights
Below are the last highlights of Group B Match 2 - Chile VS Australia at Arena Pantanal.
After
some incisive build-up play by Chile, the ball breaks to Sanchez who opens his
body and tries to curl one into the top corner, but his effort is high and
wide.
ALEXIS
(Chile) sees an effort go off target.
GOAL!
The Wigan winger scores Chile's third to wrap up the three points. Pinilla goes
through behind the Australian defence, and Ryan's save finds its way to the
Chile No15, who fires home from long range.
BEAUSEJOUR
(Chile) scores!!
Chile
have held off Australia to take the three points in Cuiaba. They went 2-0 up
with a quick-fire Alexis and Valdivia double before Cahill pulled one back for
the Socceroos. Despite a spirited fightback, Beausejour's late strike sealed
the victory.
2014 FIFA World Cup - Group B Match 1 SPAIN VS NETHERLANDS - Second Half Review

back under way in Salvador and there's been a downpour of rain during the

Robben's fourth World Cup goal in his ninth match at the global finals. He
scored once in 2006 and twice in 2010. He joins Robin van Persie as the only
Dutchmen to score at three World Cups.
DIEGO
COSTA (Spain) is ruled offside.
OFF
THE BAR! Superb build-up play by Arjen Robben sees Janmaat help the ball on to

curls a set piece in which goes just wide of Cillessen's right-hand post.
RAMOS
(Spain) sees an effort go off target.
Chelsea's

The
final whistle sounds.
It's
all over in Salvador, and it's one of the most incredible results in World Cup
history. Spain led through Xabi Alonso's first half penalty but Robin van
Persie equalised with a diving header just before the interval. The excellent
Arjen Robben then put the Dutch ahead before De Vrij bundled home and both Van
Persie and Robben completed their braces. Spain lost their first game in 2014,
can they come back from this?
