Holland in Leipzig:
It was almost a fight to hold on to the win for Holland, in the second-half, having
dominated so much in the first forty five minutes.
Holland vs C�te d'Ivoire
in Stuttgart:
After going into a two-goal lead, there were some nervous moments for Holland towards the
end.
Holland vs Argentina in Frankfurt:
Having both qualified for the Second Round, Holland and Argentina gave a number of
reserves a run, just to keep the momentum going.
Knockout Stage
Second Round
Portugal vs Holland in Nürnberg.
A classic game it wasn't, as twelve players were booked and two from each team sent off.
If the game had gone to extra-time, there might not have been enough players left to
finish the game.
