The Netherlands have to face Spain or Germany in 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Finals after beating Uruguay odd goal in five first tournament semifinal in Cape Town's Green Point Stadium. Bert van Marwijk side had deserved to win, but it's been hard work for it a lively meeting last four excellent goals articulated by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Diego Forlan, Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and Maximiliano Pereira.

It was a moment of the first concerns of Celeste, but recovered admirably and with the pace of the game fall, seemed to be comfortable holding Oranje Bay. With minimal threat Netherlands Uruguayan defenders who have been forgiven for failing to detect immediate danger when Van Bronckhorst took the ball over 30 yards out near the left touchline. However, from this position if harmless as Dutch captain unleashed a superb left foot shot that Muslera, despite applying a touch of desperation, could only divert the squad from inside the post.

Uruguay captain of the night until then relatively small, but the Dutch defense made a mistake to give too much space 25 yards from the finish - and were ruthlessly punished. Design to share the ball wide, instead Forlan facing the inside of his left foot and curled an excellent left foot shot, which is in part a little deviation from the head of John Heitinga, deceived the wrong-footed Maarten Stekelenburg.

Uruguay started the second half of something to build on, then, and they looked the more threatening of the two parties at an early stage, with Van Bronckhorst forced to push the line from an effort to avert Pereira and Stekelenburg clearly linked Forlan a goal-kick.

the Dutch moved in front a couple of minutes later, as Sneijder scored his fifth goal of the tournament, again benefiting from a telling deflection, this time off the thigh of Pereira, that sent his 20-yard shot spinning past Muslera. Uruguay needed a response, and quickly, but with 17 minutes remaining their hopes were all but ended when Robben doubled the Netherlands’ advantage.

A terrific goal it was too, with the Dutch winger sneaking in unnoticed to bullet a textbook header in off the base of the left-hand post from a measured Kuyt cross. Pereira did score an equally excellent consolation, converting expertly with a curling left-foot shot from a quickly-taken free-kick, but this injury-time effort was to prove too little, too late for the last of the non-European representatives.
