Fifa14mart.com: Netherlands Get Into The Quarter Finals

Now it is time for the knock out stage, Brazil won over Chile, Colombia beat Uruguay, and it is Netherlands knocked out Mexico.

It was a match that neck and neck. When everyone though that Mexico can make it through, there was a sting in the tail as Louis van Gaal’s tactical switches eventually paid off. Having begun the game with a 3-4-1-2, the Oranje coach switched to a 4-3-3 and as the game was ebbing away, a 4-2-4. He and his team had nothing to lose.

On the 88th minute, Dutches equalized through Wesley Sneijder, leaving the Mexicans visiblyy shattered. In the stoppage time, the comeback was completed when Klaas-Jan Huntelaar made no mistake from the penalty spot after Arjen Robben had been felled.

On the 92nd minute, Robben was tripped by the Mexico captain and that was the turning point when the referee awarded a penalty kick for Netherlands and gave the captain a yellow card. Huntelaar scored through Ochoa’s guard. And so far the game came to an end.

The two goals before the end made Dutch into the quarter-finals.

“We knew it was going to be difficult. They had an advantage with this type of weather, especial when it was 1-0 with two minutes to go. But you try to do your best and give everything. The corner came and I saw the ball coming but I couldn’t get in on goal, so I put it back into the box. I didn’t know if anybody was there, but Wesley was and he hit it perfectly. Then we started believing we could do it, and we got the penalty.”

It could have all been so different. Mexico and Netherlands met for six times, and their only meet in World Cup was in 1998 group stages when they 2-2 drew. And this time, they met in the knock out stage, again Netherlands won. You can buy FIFA World Coins from fifa14mart during the fifa world cup in brazil.http:// www.fifa14mart.com
