AUSTRALIA VS HOLLAND

Powerful Dutch overcome Aussies challenge.

Netherland 3- Australia 2(Cahil 21', Jedinac 54')
Robben 20'
Van Persie 57'
Memphis Depay 68'

Australia played really well. Even with loss, they have won hearts of people with their performance. Australia got the first corner. The goal came in the 20 minute. Arjen Robben swiftly running with ball from the centre and scores. That was his 7th goal in 8 matches. But, Holland got no time to relax and celebrate after their goal. Veteran stricker Tim Cahil scored an absolutely brilliant goal from a volley. 21'. 1-1. A free kick in the 32', Dutch defense completely missed the ball, but Australians couldn't score.

After the break, Aussies kickoff ball came straight in to the enemy box, but Leckie fowled and denied a chance. Schneijder took a shot from outside the box in the 50', but goal keeper pushed it out for a corner. Aussies took the lead from a penalty. A cross attempt by Bozanic was handled by Janmart inside box. Jedinac took the kick and scored. 2-1. (54'). This was the 7th penalty in the tournament and all seven were scored. Experienced DeJong gave away ball in a very dangerous position, but it was saved by the keeper. Dutch scored and levelled in the 58', from a well crafted move by Schneijder and Memphis from left wing. The ball reached to the captain Van Persie, who is always waiting for the ball, scored. 2-2. The best chance and miss came in the 67'. A rare miss from Dutch defense gave away ball to Aussies within their own box. Leckie, who was all alone and in a superb position to score, chested the ball to goal instead of heading. The very next minute Netherland took the lead. Memphis, who found free and open just outside Aussies box, seeing nobody is closing him, and sensing a chance to shoot striked. The ball curved away to the left of the keeper and went in. 3-2. Aussies continued attacking Dutch, but couldn't found the goal. DeJong has played majestically in the midfield. He gathered, defended and passed well in the entire match.
Tim Cahil(5) has scored more goals than star players Messi(2), Ronaldo(2) and Rooney (0 in the world cups.
