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

breaking from a Chile corner and cashing in on the brilliance of the
super-quick Arjen Robben.
