It was a shocking scoreline as the Spaniards were totally demolished 5 goals to 1 by the Dutch men. The Spaniards went in front in the 27th minute from a Xabi Alonso penalty after Costa was brought down in the box; Robben Van Persie got the leveller with a header from the centre of the box which gave his team hope as they first half ended level.
The Dutch men pressed further and their hard work paid off when an Arjen Robben left footed shot put them in front in the 53rd minute. Van Persie came close when his shot hit bar but Stephan De Vrij made sure his name went into the score sheet when he put in a left footed shot in the 64th minute.
Left footed shots seemed to making their way to the goal post from all angles and if you doubt me, ask Van Persie who got a brace with another left footed hit in the 72nd minute, making the scoreline 1 - 4.
The Spaniards huffed and puffed but couldn't find any other goal and In the 80th minute, Arjen Robben got a brace for himself when he banged in another left footed killer which ended the game in style.
1 - 5 was the final result which saw the Dutch team top their table in high spirits.
