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.
