:00:28. > :00:35.Oribe Peralta, Hello and welcome to today's full match replay, one of
:00:36. > :00:43.the last 16 games for you. This is Holland against Mexico in the
:00:44. > :00:46.boiling hot sun with Steve Bower. The Netherlands have increased the
:00:47. > :00:51.level of expectation that was in place before the tournament have
:00:52. > :00:55.begun, now they have to manage it as they face a Mexico side dreaming of
:00:56. > :00:58.finally reaching the last eight again, having fallen at this hurdle
:00:59. > :01:03.in each of their last five World Cup appearances. Louis Van Gaal is able
:01:04. > :01:05.to recall Robin Van Persie after suspension. He and Arjen Robben have
:01:06. > :01:37.three goals each already. Mexico are Jose Vazquez, who is suss
:01:38. > :02:05.peppeded. -- US pended. Salcido -- who is suspended. Salcido comes in.
:02:06. > :02:15.It is Mexico that get just the second ever World Cup meeting
:02:16. > :02:21.between these two nations under way in the searing heat in north-east
:02:22. > :02:30.Brazil. The last one back in France 1998 ended as a draw. We must have a
:02:31. > :02:35.winner today, one way or another. Mexico with the joint best defence
:02:36. > :02:37.in the group stages against the Netherlands, the top scorers in the
:02:38. > :02:52.group stages. Dirk Kuyt, who is earning his 100th
:02:53. > :02:53.cap, continuing in the left-wing back position for the Netherlands
:02:54. > :03:07.today. It will be fascinating to see how
:03:08. > :03:14.the Dutch can perform in these conditions. 30 degrees pitchside.
:03:15. > :03:21.68% humidity. No problems for the Mexicans. A couple of their players
:03:22. > :03:22.were in the warm up in long sleeves. Keeping the ball, you sense, will be
:03:23. > :03:36.so important in this one. Verhaegh, what a day for him, 30
:03:37. > :03:40.years of age, his third international cap at right-wing
:03:41. > :04:08.back. Kuyt couldn't keep that one in.
:04:09. > :04:21.Layun had the Dods have a try. -- had the confidence to have a try.
:04:22. > :04:33.He's scored two international goals. Fantastic atmosphere inside this
:04:34. > :04:38.stadium. I have to tell you it's more or less
:04:39. > :05:04.like a Mexico home gamement That was -- home game.
:05:05. > :05:13.De Guzman not fit enough to return to the centre of the midfield.
:05:14. > :05:22.The cross was too strong for Van Persie.
:05:23. > :05:30.Louis Van Gaal was talking at length yesterday about these conditions. He
:05:31. > :05:40.said that his players will lose four litres of fluid, that equates to
:05:41. > :05:45.four kilograms in 90 minutes. His team selection and his
:05:46. > :05:48.substitutes will bear that in mind. 1pm kickoff local timement
:05:49. > :06:14.-- time. Herrera has impressed many at this
:06:15. > :06:19.tournament so far. He's still going. The Porto midfielder. He's picked
:06:20. > :06:29.out Layun. He's trying his luck again. Willing
:06:30. > :06:33.to put it on his right foot. His previous effort unable to find the
:06:34. > :06:38.target, but Hector Herrera, who's had one season at Porto, much talked
:06:39. > :07:28.about, was at the beginning of all that.
:07:29. > :07:36.Van Persie challenged by Moreno and unfairly. Netherlands free kick.
:07:37. > :07:44.The referee is from Portugal and vastly experienced. # he refereed
:07:45. > :07:52.the last final of a major tournament in Euro 2012. Of course, the Dutch
:07:53. > :07:55.failed to win a game. It's been a good turn around so far in that
:07:56. > :08:00.two-year span for Louis Van Gaal. How is he going to end his period in
:08:01. > :08:02.charge, his second period in charge of the national team before he heads
:08:03. > :08:24.to Manchester United? Difficult for Kuyt to bring under
:08:25. > :08:31.control. Mexico have been so well organised defensively.
:08:32. > :08:56.Can they contain the top scorers in the group stages?
:08:57. > :09:04.He didn't make the best of contact, but he got away with it. The
:09:05. > :09:10.25-year-old goalkeeper had read the situation and just about got enough
:09:11. > :09:12.on it. Frustration for Aguilar as he's penalised. A free kick to the
:09:13. > :09:46.Netherlands. That's another Netherlands free
:09:47. > :09:49.kick. He will be the one man that Mexico are most concerned with given
:09:50. > :10:29.his performances in Brazil so far. Plenty of options for the
:10:30. > :10:31.Netherlands. It's delivered by Wesley Sneijder. Headed away by
:10:32. > :10:59.Moreno. There's an early blow for the
:11:00. > :11:04.Netherlands. Nigel De Jong is forced off through injury. That's inside
:11:05. > :11:07.nine minutes. The AC Milan and former Manchester City midfielder,
:11:08. > :11:13.such an important cog in the Dutch wheel. He's replaced by Bruno
:11:14. > :11:18.Martins Indi, who is back himself having suffered concussion in their
:11:19. > :11:19.second match against Australia. A slight reorganisation there for the
:11:20. > :11:28.Dutch now. Daley Blind will go into a holding
:11:29. > :11:33.midfield role and Martins Indi on the left side of the back three.
:11:34. > :11:35.midfield role and Martins Indi on Mexico currently waiting to get
:11:36. > :11:39.Guardado back into the game. They're temporarily back to ten. They're
:11:40. > :11:45.frustrated that the officials aren't allowing him back on the pitch.
:11:46. > :11:53.Blind is now playing in his third position of the tournament.
:11:54. > :13:38.That misplaced pass will allow Guardado to come back on.
:13:39. > :14:13.Six of the ten the Dutch scored in their route
:14:14. > :14:27.Baking hot day in north-east resilience. As you can see, very
:14:28. > :14:34.little shade inside the stadium. Very difficult to catch your breath
:14:35. > :14:42.down there. As much as a challenge for the Dutch to date facing this
:14:43. > :14:43.confident Mexican team. Dos Santos waiting in the centre. It will not
:14:44. > :15:22.reach him. Teasing cross. Dos Santos was the
:15:23. > :15:33.closest to it. Really positive play from Layun. Dos Santos could not get
:15:34. > :15:38.close enough to it. What an invitation that was that somebody in
:15:39. > :15:47.the Mexico team. The Netherlands survive. Dos Santos again. Cleared
:15:48. > :15:54.by Kite. Mexico, who have only ever been to the quarterfinals twice.
:15:55. > :16:00.Both of them were in Mexico in 1970 and in 1986. But they are beginning
:16:01. > :16:58.to believe 2014 could be their year. Schneider has not been able to get
:16:59. > :17:42.on the ball so far. -- Wesley Schneider. Might be a Mexico brake
:17:43. > :18:44.on. Terrific defending from Marquez. Dutch throat. Thoreau.
:18:45. > :19:00.Found Dos Santos. Morale that... Herrera. You sense it was a let off
:19:01. > :19:09.for the Netherlands. It was a move of so much promise from Mexico. It
:19:10. > :19:45.looked as though Oribe Peralta was And very confident start from
:19:46. > :19:53.Mexico. No foul on parole tough. The referee has allowed play to
:19:54. > :20:05.continue. -- Oribe Peralta. Challenged by Rodriguez. Mexico have
:20:06. > :20:14.already played in this stadium. It was the day they kept a clean sheet
:20:15. > :20:23.and capped Brazil at bay. They know the surroundings and the conditions.
:20:24. > :20:54.Kite, assessing the options. Committed the foul, the Dutch
:20:55. > :21:05.captain. Pulled Marquez to the ground. More promising from the
:21:06. > :21:22.Netherlands. First time they have got in behind Mexico.
:21:23. > :21:31.Fabulous atmosphere inside this stadium. Inundated with Mexicans,
:21:32. > :21:36.what a brilliant piece of skill. Mexico feel there was an
:21:37. > :21:48.infringement. The Portuguese referee doesn't. It was the Herrera again.
:21:49. > :21:57.-- Hector Herrera. Got away from Vlaar. Can only expect a corner.
:21:58. > :22:02.Brilliant piece of skill prior to that. First corner of the game and
:22:03. > :22:07.will be taken by Giovanni Dos Santos for Mexico. Well defended from the
:22:08. > :22:30.Netherlands. Great first touch from her rarer.
:22:31. > :22:43.Vlaar was struggling. That is where the Aston Villa defender got to the
:22:44. > :23:03.ball first. He was at full stretch and had to get there. Unable to get
:23:04. > :23:25.any kind of angle on the header. Salcido. Played for four years in
:23:26. > :24:01.the Netherlands himself with VS Eindhoven.
:24:02. > :24:08.Looked as though the referee was going to blow. It is beginning to
:24:09. > :24:37.open up, this game. Herrera for Mexico. Dispossessed by Kuyt.
:24:38. > :24:48.Mexico who have lost three and drawn one of their last meetings with the
:24:49. > :24:59.Netherlands. Certainly showing they are not afraid of them.
:25:00. > :25:26.Been allowed to continue. Moreno has seen the gap again.
:25:27. > :25:42.Decent possession again from Mexico. Salcido, from a long way out. Almost
:25:43. > :25:49.caught Cillessen by surprise. He had to make sure with two hands. Corner
:25:50. > :26:14.to Mexico. Before Herrera takes this, the
:26:15. > :26:29.reparation's official is concerned about a head wound or something in
:26:30. > :26:45.his eye. Finally Herrera can deliver the corner.
:26:46. > :27:11.Might have even clipped off the head of Kuyt. In fact, it did.
:27:12. > :27:35.They have already lost Nigel De Jong. I hope he is OK to continue.
:27:36. > :28:33.Rafael Marquez, what a career he has had. Sneijder coming deeper. The
:28:34. > :28:43.Dutch will want to see him on the ball a little bit more often. The
:28:44. > :28:50.Galatasaray player is playing his 15th game for the Netherlands.
:28:51. > :28:58.Brilliant first touch. Second one off target. That is why you cannot
:28:59. > :29:02.relaxed when he is around. The angle was always against him and he was
:29:03. > :29:08.off balance. Did Lillian Lee to get it under control. -- did
:29:09. > :30:04.brilliantly. Peralta is still going. Then Dos
:30:05. > :30:22.Santos. Comfortable for Cillessen. A comfortable save for Jasper
:30:23. > :30:42.Cillessen in the Netherlands goal. Despite getting the Netherlands out
:30:43. > :30:46.of the group in spectacular style, Louis Van Gaal still has his critics
:30:47. > :31:04.back home. He's been box office, Miguel
:31:05. > :31:09.Herrera, talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve. This is his
:31:10. > :31:10.very first experience of a World Cup. Is it going to extend beyond
:31:11. > :32:17.this game? In these conditions you do not want
:32:18. > :32:51.to be giving away possession cheaply.
:32:52. > :32:58.It wasn't the ball that Kuyt wanted. He retrieved the situation, though.
:32:59. > :33:00.It's the longest period of possession in a while for the
:33:01. > :33:24.Netherlands. It's now Mexico who can't clear
:33:25. > :33:35.their lines. There was an infringement. Because of the heat
:33:36. > :33:44.which has risen has indicated a drinks cooling break. Which I'm sure
:33:45. > :33:46.all those players out there will be hugely greatful for. We thought it
:33:47. > :33:51.might be more of a regular occurrence in this tournament,
:33:52. > :33:57.certainly on this north-east coast, in the afternoon heat, it's one that
:33:58. > :34:03.is a sensible option. It's certainly one that's required. As I say, Louis
:34:04. > :34:08.Van Gaal saying yesterday that they estimate four litres of fluid will
:34:09. > :34:13.be lost in 90 minutes, which equates to four kilos. It gives them the
:34:14. > :34:32.opportunity to speak to the players as well.
:34:33. > :34:52.Every method possible being used to rehydrate those players at the
:34:53. > :35:40.moment. And supporters, alike. Nothing to choose between these two
:35:41. > :35:49.nations so far in the opening 33 minutes. The Dutch have had more
:35:50. > :35:53.possession. The Mexicans are out in force here. It's a wash of green
:35:54. > :36:03.around this stadium. Little pockets of orange. The Mexicans hoping that
:36:04. > :36:05.this will be the day that they can finally reach the last eight once
:36:06. > :36:18.again. The World Cup cooling break is
:36:19. > :36:32.complete. And the first half is ready for
:36:33. > :36:51.resumption. Not a cloud in the sky. No question
:36:52. > :36:52.the conditions are a big factor in the outcome of this match, certainly
:36:53. > :37:59.in terms of the European nation. He made his debut a year ago, began
:38:00. > :38:05.his season as second choice for Ajax, let alone number one for the
:38:06. > :38:11.Netherlands. Miguel Herrera will be pleased with
:38:12. > :38:14.his team's performance so far. He's already reached the target set by
:38:15. > :38:18.his employers before a ball was kicked.
:38:19. > :39:05.You just get the feel there might be an outlet for Mexico down the left
:39:06. > :40:08.side. Verhaegh is inexperienced at international level.
:40:09. > :40:20.Better possession from the Netherlands.
:40:21. > :40:26.They certainly have players capable of a moment, a flash of individual
:40:27. > :40:53.brilliance. You can see in the stadium,
:40:54. > :40:58.spectators are leaving the seats in the sun and moving backwards to the
:40:59. > :41:02.ones in the shade, such is the searing heat inside this stadium.
:41:03. > :41:12.People are struggling to watch it, let alone play in it.
:41:13. > :41:20.Dirk Kuyt did enough. Goal kick to the Netherlands.
:41:21. > :41:56.Just looked for a moment he had a yard on Kuyt.
:41:57. > :42:03.The Dutch moving into the pockets of space where they can potentially
:42:04. > :42:05.hurt Mexico. Robben, they've marshalled him well
:42:06. > :42:29.enough so far. The Dutch have had to tailor their
:42:30. > :42:43.game. It will have to be a more measured
:42:44. > :42:50.approach today. There's the deepest of deep
:42:51. > :43:00.thinkers. After almost 41 minutes of this
:43:01. > :43:57.game, the Netherlands have their first corner.
:43:58. > :44:09.Dos Santos... Doubt by Cillessen. Said you would expect him to make,
:44:10. > :44:17.which he did with his leg. Van Percie at the other end. Only Robben
:44:18. > :44:34.up with him. Still van Percie. He talked on one too many. -- tug on.
:44:35. > :44:48.Dos Santos. He was fouled and did not like it. He reacted, Giovani dos
:44:49. > :45:04.Santos. The Portuguese referee arrived quickly to defuse the
:45:05. > :45:09.situation. Here is the challenge. This is the opportunity. It was a
:45:10. > :45:47.tight angle. Cillessen stood up at his near post to keep him out.
:45:48. > :46:13.De Vrij for the Netherlands. Kuyt is off and running.
:46:14. > :46:21.The Dutch supporters that have been able to get here today, little
:46:22. > :46:29.pockets of orange around the stadium are not seeing the same
:46:30. > :46:42.swashbuckling football in these conditions. So much at stake now.
:46:43. > :46:50.Finalists of four years ago. Three times World Cup finalists. How long
:46:51. > :46:56.will this year's adventure go? Lovely little touch from Peralta.
:46:57. > :47:08.Inadvertently it came to Dos Santos. Decent try.
:47:09. > :47:17.With the injuries and the cooling break there will be four minutes to
:47:18. > :47:31.add on at the end of this first half. Some enjoying the 30 degrees
:47:32. > :48:41.heat more than others. Marquez didn't get there. Van Percie
:48:42. > :48:48.is onto it. Can Robben get there. What a recovery from Marquez. Robben
:48:49. > :49:03.appealing but that was a fabulous challenge by Rafael Marquez. How it
:49:04. > :49:13.needed to be. That was nearly a costly mistake punished. It was up
:49:14. > :49:23.football from Rodriguez. Marquez was never getting there. Watch Marquez
:49:24. > :49:38.now. Did not dive in. Moreno made the challenge. From that angle it
:49:39. > :49:50.looked as though Moreno's trailing leg caught Robben. Rodriguez, the
:49:51. > :50:03.first challenge and then the second one. He didn't get the ball. Robben
:50:04. > :50:14.appeals for everything, but on that occasion, you can understand it. I
:50:15. > :50:28.hope Moreno is OK to continue. An important part of the back three.
:50:29. > :50:39.hope Moreno is OK to continue. An Robben still discussing the
:50:40. > :50:54.incident. It looks as though Moreno's day is over. He made the
:50:55. > :50:58.challenge and is in discomfort. A player that Louis van Gaal knows
:50:59. > :51:05.extremely well. He won the Dutch title under him, Moreno. It looks
:51:06. > :51:07.like Mexico, like the Netherlands in this first half will be forced into
:51:08. > :51:44.a change. That is the last action of a
:51:45. > :51:52.goalless first half in this searing heat. Arjen Robben involved at the
:51:53. > :51:56.end of it with that incident in the penalty area. He appealed for a
:51:57. > :51:58.penalty and the referee said no. Mexico breathed a huge sigh of
:51:59. > :52:21.relief. Hector Moreno unable to play any
:52:22. > :52:40.further part for Mexico. Half-time substitution sees Diego Reyes
:52:41. > :52:44.young-macro. -- Reyes. It will be the three times World Cup
:52:45. > :52:49.finalists, the Netherlands to get is underway in the second half. Having
:52:50. > :52:56.to overcome the heat and Mexico in the second 45 minutes. No changes
:52:57. > :53:01.from them at half-time after having to make one enforced change with the
:53:02. > :53:41.loss of de Jong in the first half. Some of the stadium is in the shade
:53:42. > :54:07.and now. The only time they have met at World Cup level was in 98 and the
:54:08. > :54:11.Mexicans were 2-0 down in the group stage and came back to draw 2-2.
:54:12. > :54:39.Foul on Peralta. Diego Reyes of Porto. Peralta just
:54:40. > :55:34.couldn't get it under control. Blind got the effort in. Dos Santos,
:55:35. > :55:41.less than three minutes into the second half, breaks the deadlock.
:55:42. > :55:48.His first goal of the tournament. Has given Mexico the lead. To
:55:49. > :56:02.increase the level of noise in this stadium. The former Tottenham
:56:03. > :56:14.player, with the sweet strike to beat Cillessen. It came out of the
:56:15. > :56:21.air. The first touch off his chest and the second one was inch perfect.
:56:22. > :56:36.Blind tried to stop it. He couldn't. Cillessen and couldn't. Dos Santos
:56:37. > :56:39.has his 16th international goal. Miguel Herrera jumping for joy
:56:40. > :56:48.again. It means absolutely everything to him. This nation who
:56:49. > :56:52.were in disarray in qualifying have found their feet in Brazil and now
:56:53. > :57:06.they lead the Netherlands in the knockout stages 1-0. The group stage
:57:07. > :57:12.top scorers need a goal. Really good hit from Dos Santos. Cillessen died
:57:13. > :57:22.to his left ankle not get anywhere near it. It just nestle sweetly into
:57:23. > :57:31.the bottom corner. -- and could not. He has a World Cup goal for the
:57:32. > :57:36.first time in his career. Two disallowed in the opening group game
:57:37. > :57:48.against Cameroon. He might just have scored when it really matters.
:57:49. > :57:51.Mexico have the free kick. And the thousands and thousands of Mexican
:57:52. > :57:55.supporters in this stadium are up on their feet as Herrera delivers
:57:56. > :58:11.this. It was Marquez, the captain, with the header. Could not guide it
:58:12. > :58:21.under the crossbar. Even aided the attentions of Blind. Will not tire
:58:22. > :58:22.of seeing that again. What is the reaction of the finalists of four
:58:23. > :00:14.years ago? An immediate response from the
:00:15. > :00:55.Dutch. The wall did its job to deny Sneijder.
:00:56. > :01:03.Netherlands corner. First appearance at the World Cup,
:01:04. > :02:10.on at halftime. Dos Santos with the goal. It meensz
:02:11. > :02:24.the Dutch have to score -- means the Dutch have to score.
:02:25. > :02:32.Louis Van Gaal is preparing a change for the Netherlands.
:02:33. > :02:39.It is the youngster Depay, who's had such an effect. This is Peralta!
:02:40. > :03:04.Good effort. Kept out by Cillessen. It's a free kick to Mexico. That is
:03:05. > :03:10.the cue for the Dutch change. Louis Van Gaal must turn to be 20-year-old
:03:11. > :03:14.Memphis Depay once again. Twice off the bench in this World Cup and
:03:15. > :03:20.twice with a goal. No player has done that three times
:03:21. > :03:27.at any World Cup Finals. The Dutch would love him to do that now. Paul
:03:28. > :03:33.Verhaegh is the one sacrificed. He's had some impact, the 20-year-old
:03:34. > :03:38.from PSV Eindhoven. Against Australia and also against Chile.
:03:39. > :04:04.Can he have an impact against Mexico?
:04:05. > :04:09.The cross wasn't what they were looking for but it still needed
:04:10. > :04:14.dealing with by Reyes. Nedge land corner.
:04:15. > :04:23.-- Netherlands corner. Robben keen to take it quickly. Oh,
:04:24. > :04:34.an inviting one! How did that not go in? That was astonishing.
:04:35. > :05:18.Good response from the Dutch to going behind. It's a Mexico throw,

:05:40. > :06:41.somehow with the reflexes and to deny the Dutch an equaliser.
:06:42. > :06:56.Astonish Astonishing stop from Achoa. It's onto the post and it
:06:57. > :07:27.didn't cross the line. Completely different tempo about
:07:28. > :07:45.this side now. Robben tried to set up Wesley
:07:46. > :08:12.Sneijder. Deflected. Netherlands corner.
:08:13. > :08:21.Dos Santos, the goal scorer is coming off. And Aquino is going to
:08:22. > :08:31.replace him. He wouldn't have been in the squad at all, but for
:08:32. > :08:37.LuisMontez breaking his leg in a warm-up gamement -- game. Fresh legs
:08:38. > :08:39.for Mexico. Here comes the Dutch corner.
:08:40. > :09:18.Off the head of Rodriguez. They've been fabulously supported
:09:19. > :09:22.throughout this tournament, Mexico. They have a huge national obsession
:09:23. > :09:27.with the so-called fifth game in the World Cup Finals. It's this hurdle,
:09:28. > :09:33.the fifth one. They can't get to it. Each of the last five tournaments,
:09:34. > :09:39.the last 16 has proved a hurdle too far.
:09:40. > :09:45.Could this be the year to change all that? It's been dominating the
:09:46. > :09:47.Mexican headlines before this game. They seem to have stunned the Dutch
:09:48. > :09:52.into action here. Sneijder, the team that scored ten
:09:53. > :10:27.goals in the group stages. Such a proud footballing nation.
:10:28. > :10:37.Their 15th World Cup. Is this one going to carry on?
:10:38. > :10:46.That was almost the ball that Sneijder was looking for.
:10:47. > :10:50.He timed his run, got away from his man. He couldn't get there on the
:10:51. > :10:55.stretch, Wesley Sneijder. Fabulous vision from Robben.
:10:56. > :11:31.He knew Sneijder was running into it and there's the little look.
:11:32. > :12:02.Another super block by Marquez: Another Netherlands corner.
:12:03. > :12:08.Achoa has only conceded one goal at this tournament so far.
:12:09. > :12:16.Louis Van Gaal knows it needs to change.
:12:17. > :12:35.That was a consolation goal by Croatia in the last group game.
:12:36. > :13:14.Netherlands free kick. The Mexicans skippered being chased
:13:15. > :13:46.by van Percie. Peralta was offside. He was close.
:13:47. > :14:00.Early flag and whistle. Lovely little run from Javier Aquino, the
:14:01. > :14:30.substitute. The Dutch are searching for their equaliser once more.
:14:31. > :14:52.Depay beaten to it. Robben. He went down. The referee is only ten years
:14:53. > :15:10.ago -- ten yards away and had a good look at that. Goalkick. Taking on
:15:11. > :15:19.two defenders. He wasn't going to get a penalty for that. Layun on the
:15:20. > :15:31.floor. A little desperate from Arjen Robben.
:15:32. > :15:40.Out of play by Depay. Scored against Spain. Denied in this game by Ochoa
:15:41. > :16:07.and then the post. Peralta's touch. Sneijder. That was
:16:08. > :16:18.late on to play by Aguilar. The first yellow card of the game.
:16:19. > :16:24.Aguilar has already had one in the tournament. It is a costly one if
:16:25. > :16:30.they do go through. He will not play in the quarterfinal. Sent off in the
:16:31. > :16:33.play-off to get here against New Zealand. He will now face a
:16:34. > :16:43.suspension if they do carry on this adventure.
:16:44. > :17:15.Sneijder with the delivery. Comfortably headed away by Herrera.
:17:16. > :17:34.Kuyt delivered that. Headed behind by Reyes. The Netherlands's sixth
:17:35. > :17:45.corner in this half alone. Ochoa got something on it.
:17:46. > :18:00.Inside the last 20 minutes. The Dutch are rampant. So impressive in
:18:01. > :18:01.the group stages. Needing a goal but will have to maintain concentration
:18:02. > :18:35.at the other end as well. No flag. Herrera is still full of
:18:36. > :18:39.running. Once again, it was a teasing cross. Nowhere near Peralta
:18:40. > :19:18.in the end. Good enough from Ochoa. De Vrij.
:19:19. > :19:31.Kuyt's 100 will not be a memorable one as it stands. More frustration
:19:32. > :19:42.for the Netherlands. Only got five goals four years ago. Unable to open
:19:43. > :19:55.his account in this tournament as yet.
:19:56. > :20:04.Mexico are about to introduce the inevitable substitution. Manchester
:20:05. > :20:43.United's have ear Hernandez. Forward from Rodriguez. Away by de
:20:44. > :20:56.Vrij. Aguilar. Given away by Herrera. Long and hopeful from Kuyt.
:20:57. > :21:21.Too long for Robben. Peralta. This is Robben. He is round
:21:22. > :21:37.Marquez. Arjen Robben denied by Ochoa. Corner to the Netherlands.
:21:38. > :21:44.Turning up the temperature. Here comes the inevitable introduction.
:21:45. > :21:53.Just watch Robben skip past Marquez as if he wasn't there. Tight angle
:21:54. > :21:58.and Ochoa wasn't going to be beaten. Here comes the inevitable
:21:59. > :22:08.substitution of Hernandez to replace Peralta. The touch of irony is, he
:22:09. > :22:18.could be about to help his new club manager start work earlier than he
:22:19. > :22:23.wants to. Hernandez, a goal-scorer against Croatia last time out, on to
:22:24. > :22:29.defend this corner which is headed over by Vlaar. The Aston Villa
:22:30. > :22:37.player could not get over that. He only ever scored once for his
:22:38. > :22:49.country. Fabulous skill from Robben. The Dutch will need more of this in
:22:50. > :23:05.the last quarter of an hour. Denied by Ochoa. Robin van Persie off.
:23:06. > :23:12.Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is on. Huntelaar's first appearance in this
:23:13. > :23:16.tournament but his second World Cup. Scored against Cameroon four
:23:17. > :23:22.years ago and with 15 minutes to go we will have our second cooling
:23:23. > :23:31.break of the game. In front of a crowd of almost 60,000. Robben, now
:23:32. > :23:40.the Dutch captain. It is now or never for the Netherlands.
:23:41. > :23:47.Magnificent atmosphere. This stadium is preparing to host
:23:48. > :23:52.Magnificent atmosphere. This stadium Colombia in the quarterfinals. --
:23:53. > :23:56.Brazil. One more message to be introduced by Louis van Gaal. Will
:23:57. > :24:06.he be heading to Manchester earlier than he wanted to? That is the man
:24:07. > :24:15.they have got to beat. Only one player has managed it in the
:24:16. > :24:28.tournament so far. Mexico on the verge of a huge World Cup moment.
:24:29. > :24:40.What a save that was from Ochoa. That could be a defining moment.
:24:41. > :24:53.There was no way he was prepared to be beaten thereby Robben, either. --
:24:54. > :25:29.there by. What a story this could be.
:25:30. > :25:34.Refuelled and ready to go. It is a colourful occasion. It will be a
:25:35. > :26:06.memorable occasion if it stays this way.
:26:07. > :26:32.Still so don't try to dance his way through. The effort in the end did
:26:33. > :26:38.not match the run. -- Sal Sydow. It looks as though he has never been
:26:39. > :26:53.away from international foot ball. He got right underneath that one.
:26:54. > :27:06.The 34-year-old. -- Carlos Salcido. Kino, trying to use his pace again.
:27:07. > :27:13.Taken out by Bruno Martins Indi. It wasn't subtle. He wanted further
:27:14. > :27:27.punishment. Kino did well to keep that in. --
:27:28. > :28:03.Javier Aquino. Dos Santos has got the goal. He can
:28:04. > :28:15.only look on to see if it is enough. Miguel Herrera has been told to calm
:28:16. > :28:23.down either Portuguese referee. Final warning, otherwise he will
:28:24. > :28:29.have to leave the technical area. Every football fan loves to see his
:28:30. > :28:55.enthusiasm. If they score again, he might just run out of the stadium.
:28:56. > :30:20.The Dutch going a little more direct.
:30:21. > :30:28.Can the free-scoring Dutch break this team town, who have been so
:30:29. > :31:05.solid defensively in this tournament.
:31:06. > :31:21.The Netherlands in need of a hero to step up to the plate.
:31:22. > :31:35.We're into double figures for the corner count in this second half for
:31:36. > :31:49.the Netherlands. Can they find a goal?
:31:50. > :31:59.Huntelaar - he was offside. It wouldn't have counted any way.
:32:00. > :32:08.The flag was up early from the assistant.
:32:09. > :32:13.When Kuyt touches this, there's two of them off. One of them was
:32:14. > :32:20.Huntelaar. Ochoa didn't know that. It was a terrific save from the
:32:21. > :32:26.Mexican goalkeeper any way. You just wonder if the Netherlands
:32:27. > :33:25.are going to beat that man at all. Then they will start one huge party.
:33:26. > :33:30.Is this team going to stop the free-scoring Dutch? It would be a
:33:31. > :33:35.surprise inclusion in the last eight.
:33:36. > :33:40.The so-called fifth game of a World Cup Finals, which has become a
:33:41. > :33:45.national obsession in Mexican football. Each time they've got
:33:46. > :33:47.close, each time they've failed to get there. They're really close to
:33:48. > :34:02.getting there now. Those in orange seeking inspiration.
:34:03. > :34:30.And intervention. Time is ticking away from the Netherlands.
:34:31. > :34:35.Another corner for the Netherlands. Soon er or later they have to make
:34:36. > :34:43.one count. Can they beat that man, Ochoa. He
:34:44. > :34:52.back pedestrian ad that time. Sneijder! They can. Wesley Sneijder,
:34:53. > :35:00.less than three minutes from Sneijder! They can. Wesley Sneijder,
:35:01. > :35:06.of the 90. He has rescued it for the Netherlands. The man who got five
:35:07. > :35:18.goals on their way to the final four years ago scores his first goal in
:35:19. > :35:22.Brazil to finally beat Ochoa. It sat up invitingly and he struck it
:35:23. > :35:29.perfectly. No chance for Ochoa that time. Wesley Sneijder, on his record
:35:30. > :35:32.15th appearance in a World Cup match, marks it with the equalising
:35:33. > :35:43.goal. Netherlands 1, Mexico 1. Their 11th goal of the tournament
:35:44. > :36:25.has kept their tournament alive. That's why special players are kept
:36:26. > :36:28.on the pitch. He's hardly been involved today Wesley Sneijder, but
:36:29. > :36:39.when it mattered he stepped up to the plate.
:36:40. > :36:52.Cap 103, which might just go another half an hour now.
:36:53. > :36:58.Depay taken out by Aguilar. Now it's a test for Mexico. They were so
:36:59. > :37:09.close, they could touch the quarter finals. But it's back at all square.
:37:10. > :37:14.The next figure is that of stoppage time, given injuries and another
:37:15. > :37:43.cooling break. How long is going to be added? It is
:37:44. > :37:51.going to be six more minutes. Are we in for late drama?
:37:52. > :37:58.Depay went for goal. He was blocked by Aguilar.
:37:59. > :38:06.Tremendous hit from Sneijder. Really sweet connection. Goalkeeper
:38:07. > :38:07.didn't move. What a big goal that is for the
:38:08. > :38:15.Dutch. We will turn the page shortly, what
:38:16. > :38:58.is in the next chapter of this game? Still plenty of time to come up with
:38:59. > :39:06.an opening. Again Robben goes down. This time the referee give it's!
:39:07. > :39:18.Penalty to the penalty. Yellow card to Marquez. He can't believe it.
:39:19. > :39:22.It's his second of the tournament. By Arjen Robben toyed with him,
:39:23. > :39:29.It's his second of the tournament. teased him, he was caught. There was
:39:30. > :39:37.contact, how much? Robben made the most of it. Marquez was nowhere near
:39:38. > :39:51.the ball. The Portuguese referee pointed straight to the spot.
:39:52. > :39:59.Guillermo Ochoa has been a hero throughout for Mexico. Can he be a
:40:00. > :40:15.hero for them again? What drama. It is going to be
:40:16. > :40:18.Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the substitute, on for his first action of this
:40:19. > :40:22.World Cup, who assumes the responsibility. He's had a long,
:40:23. > :40:35.long wait for this penalty kick. A yellow card for Guardado in that
:40:36. > :40:42.as well for his protests. It means the wait is a touch longer. All
:40:43. > :40:47.Mexico can do now is pray that hunt doesn't score. We're in the 93rd
:40:48. > :40:54.minute. What a huge moment for Netherlands
:40:55. > :41:02.and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Here he comes. And scores! From one down,
:41:03. > :41:09.the Netherlands with just three minutes of stoppage time remaining
:41:10. > :41:15.lead 2-16789 Is the adventure of the losing finalists of four years ago
:41:16. > :41:21.going to continue in the quarter finals? Five minutes ago that looked
:41:22. > :41:26.an unlikely scenario, but Huntelaar kept his cool. He swept the penalty
:41:27. > :41:34.into the bottom corner. Ochoa the wrong way. You have to feel for
:41:35. > :41:37.Mexico. But the Netherlands have turned this round from one down to
:41:38. > :41:54.lead by 2-1. For the sixth successive tournament,
:41:55. > :42:01.are Mexico going to fall at this hurdle?
:42:02. > :42:04.Two goals in six incredible minutes have turned this game completely
:42:05. > :42:11.around. A little over a minute to try and
:42:12. > :42:27.rescue it for Mexico. They were reaching out and touching
:42:28. > :42:30.those quarter finals. Now they're going to be denied a place in them
:42:31. > :42:32.unless they can conjure something up in the one minute of stoppage time
:42:33. > :42:55.remaining. The Mexicans inside this stadium
:42:56. > :43:37.will be struggling to take this in. That was a defender's pass. That
:43:38. > :44:12.might just be that. There it is, the Netherlands three
:44:13. > :44:19.times World Cup finalists are into the last eight for the sixth time.
:44:20. > :44:25.It was six incredible minutes that got them there. 88 minutes gone,
:44:26. > :44:30.they were trailing by 1-0. Sneijder with the equaliser. The foul on
:44:31. > :44:37.Robben gave the penalty and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the hero.
:44:38. > :44:41.They've broken Mexican hearts, who were touching and reaching the last
:44:42. > :44:46.eight, but for their sixth successive World Cup Finals fall at
:44:47. > :44:49.this hurdle. Louis Van Gaal isn't travelling to Manchester just yet
:44:50. > :44:58.because the Netherlands are into the quarter finals. ( It's finished
:44:59. > :45:04.here, Netherlands 2, Mexico 1. So the Dutch left it late, but they
:45:05. > :45:07.go through and they'll play Costa Rica in the quarter finals another
:45:08. > :45:16.replay later on tonight, goodbye. But sometimes, something can happen
:45:17. > :45:28.that leaves you no choice
