- play by play
- …-The referee blows his whistle to end a very entertaining match, with the Dutch ultimately coming out on top, despite an unconvincing display.
Jedinak's penalty gave Australia a deserved lead and the Dutch looked in trouble, but typically Van Persie netted his third of the tournament and then Depay netted the winner. Ryan will be disappointed with his efforts for the winner, however, letting it slip through his hands.
90′ + 4-FULL-TIME!
- 68′-Assist - Jonathan De Guzmán (Netherlands)
68′-Goal - Memphis Depay (Netherlands)
56′-Following their win over Spain, perhaps the Netherlands have been believing their own hype? They look a shadow of themselves from that meeting.
- 54′-Penalty Goal - Mile Jedinak (Australia) GOAL!!!
AUSTRALIA TAKE THE LEAD! The captain, Mile Jedinak steps up and coolly fires the penalty past Cillessen, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
- 53′-PENALTY TO AUSTRALIA!
Brozovic does well to get into the left side of the Dutch area and after attempting to trick his way past Janmaat, he fires a cross on to the right-back's hand.
49′- Following that substitution at the end of the first half, Depay will slot into an attacking position on either flank, with Van Gaal operating for a more orthodox 4-4-2 formation.
47′-Yellow Card - Robin van Persie (Netherlands)
47′-Van Persie is the latest to go into the referee's book.
The forward's elbow seemed to catch Spiranovic near the face, but the Australia defender made the most of that. Van Persie is now suspended for their next match.
46′-Australia have the ball in the net just a few seconds after the restart, but it won't count.
Leckie appeared to nudge Blind illegally, before poking past Cillessen.
- 46′-We're back underway.
- 23′- What a sensational couple of minutes in Porto Alegre.
.
A moment of weakness from Wilkinson at one end helped give the Dutch the lead, while a moment of magic drew them level. More of the same, please!
- 21′-:-DGoal - Tim Cahill (Australia) GOAL!!!
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STRIKE! Cahill races on to a lofted ball from near the halfway line and, after peeling away from a Dutch defender, the forward unleashes an outrageous left-footed volley.
The effort smashes against the crossbar and then finds the net.
- 21′-Assist - Ryan McGowan (Australia)
- 20′-:-DGoal - Arjen Robben (Netherlands) GOAL!!!
Netherlands take the lead in Porto Alegre! Robben does brilliantly as he takes the ball down on the half-way line, bursts past Wilkinson and then charges all the way to the Aussie area, before drilling low past Ryan.
