An intriguing tactical game still but needs a goal to spark it to life.
Shot from Sanchez from distance, always rising over the bar. Decent strike though.
POSSESSION: NETHERLANDS 33%-67% CHILE
Lens and Sneijder combine around the box but the latter is forced wide by good defending and Chile clear the danger.
Chile pressing all over the park. Holland failing to find any rhythm with their passing.
Kuyt playing a little higher up this second half. Must still keep an eye on Isla.
Chile keeping Sneijder quiet.
Very combative opening. Can see this game becoming stretched before too long.
Now Sneijder penalised for the use of a hand. He’s been quiet tonight.
Sneijder fouled by Diaz. Sampaoli doesn’t like it. What a character.
Kuyt has already managed two more crosses than he did in the opening half. Foul by Blind on Sanchez.
Early free kick for Holland. Kuyt plays in a decent ball but it’s a great header clear from Medel. Sanchez breaks but his pass for Vargas is poor.
Chile sub: Beausejour on for Gutierrez.
We’re back underway here at the Arena Corinthians. Should be exciting stuff as Chile continue to go for the victory they need to top the group.
HALF TIME: Chile 0-0 Netherlands
Just the one added minute...
Foul by Silva on Robben. He’s on a yellow card and seen those given. Must be careful. Sneijder plays it in and it pings around the box but it’s a foul on Aranguiz.
