BRAZIL 0
NETHERLANDS 3 (Van Persie 3 Pen, Blind 16, Wijnaldum 91)

Robben headed a goalkick to RVP, he held off Thiago Silva before playing a great reverse pass for Robben to chase down, he raced past Thiago Silva who hauled him down for the penalty. It should have been a red but obviously the ref wasn't going to do that after 85 seconds. De Guzman hung up a cross, Luiz headed it straight back into the box (instead of over the bar because he's a moron), Blind pulled the ball own with his left before hammering high into the net with his right. Hernanes dived when trying to go past Janmaat and Wijnaldum fed Robben on the right, he played in Janmaat on the overlap and Wijnaldum tapped in his centre. Brilliant goal and the 14th Brazil have conceded at the tournament.

This is the first time since 1940 that Brazil have lost successive games at home and join Saudi Arabia (12, 2002) and South Korea (16, 1954) as the teams that have conceded the most goals at a finals tournament. Fittingly as the third goal went in Scolari looked over to the coward Parreira.
