Match 3, Half-time:
SPAIN (1) - NETHERLANDS (1)
Now this, is what I call attacking football!! No less than 8-9 shots at goal, with 2 of them scoring ones.
A very dubious penalty kick call helped Spain surge ahead 1-0 in the 27th minute through Xabi Alonso, but trust the Flying Dutchman, Robin Van Persie, to deliver when the Dutch need him the most. A cross from the center line found him in perfect onside position, and the diving forward header looped well over Iker Casillas to find the nets behind him, and the famed keeper could only stand in despair and watch. For once, the rock-solid Spanish defence was caught with their pants down, utterly and completely.
Fantastic first half. Hopefully an equally fantastic second half awaits. Let have some more goals!!
