Netherlands beats Chile 2-0

Goal Scorers - Leroy Fer and Memphis Depay

  
Leroy Fer had only been on the pitch for two minutes when he scored

Holland’s second goal — a second of the tournament for the impressive Memphis Depay — was the perfect example of counter-attacking football, the Dutch breaking from a Chile corner and cashing in on the brilliance of the super-quick Arjen Robben.
