Netherlands trash Spain , What a revenge of last world cup final.
Amazing Stuff by Van Persie and Robben. Dutchmen was attacking throughout the game to keep Spain guessing.
Netherlands produced one of the biggest shocks in the FIFA World Cup 2014 when they beat World and European champions Spain 5-1 to stun the footballing world and announce their intentions in the on going world cup in Brazil.
A sea of orange decorated the streets of Salvador as they celebrated the Netherlands 5-1 thrashing of defending champions Spain at the World Cup. Draped in their traditional colour, the Dutch supporters were rewarded with a sensational display as their team stormed to the top of Group B. The Netherlands gaining revenge for their defeat to the same opponents in the 2010 final in South Africa.
The Dutch forward stole in between Sergio Ramos and Jordi Alba to meet a searching Daley Blind cross with a powerful diving header that left goalkeeper Iker Casillas rooted.
After the break the Dutch poured forward and went ahead after 53 minutes when Robben got on the end of another superb Blind lobbed pass before turning Gerard Pique and holding off Sergio Ramos to fire home from seven metres.
The match opened up but in the Netherlands' favour with De Vrij stealing in on 64 minutes at the back post to convert a free kick after Van Persie put Casillas under pressure.
It got worse for Spain as Van Persie added a fourth after taking advantage of a sloppy touch by Casillas to slot home in the 72nd minute and Robben stunned a raucous crowd as he toyed with the Spanish defence and Casillas before belting home in the 80th.
