Great skill from Alexis looking for Diaz but there’s just too much on his pass. Nice idea.
Sneijder takes but it’s an easy one for Bravo.
Lens caught by Silva and now Holland have a great chance from the set piece. It’s also a yellow card.
Robben has a first chance to run at the Chile defence but it’s a good block by the defence.
Alexis plays it short across goal for Gutierrez and he hits it over the bar. Decent half chance.
Now Sneijder penalised for a foul on Vargas. Another chance from the set piece… Headed clear for a corner.
Van Gaal was unhappy with the amount of possession his side conceded to Australia and it’s definitely happening again.
Another good cross from Mena, just too high for Vargas and Aranguiz. Looking dangerous.
Fans watching the game anywhere they can.
Lens goes down following a clash with Medel. He gets up gingerly and requires attention.
Vlaar searches for Robben but it’s just too long for the flying Dutchman.
Chile’s movement looks really good at the moment. Aranguiz flagged just offside.
Another foul as Alexis goes tumbling this time. Chile will be happier with the start they’ve made. Vlaar forced into a hurried defensive clearance.
Cross comes in from Mena but Vargas heads over. First half chance of the game.
Another foul. This time Lens on Silva. Very niggly start here.
Robben tumbles to the ground under pressure from Jara. Very little contact there. He plays it in to Kuyt but Chile clear.
POSSSSION: NETHERLANDS 49%-51% CHILE
Long ball from Medel to Sanchez but he can’t quite keep it in play. Goal kick to Holland.
Free kick lifted into the box by Sneijder, hooked clear by Vargas.
