TEAMS: Netherlands: Cillessen, Vlaar. De Vrij, Blind, De Jong, Janmaat, Sneijder, Robben (c), Kuyt, Lens, Wijnaldum /// Chile: Bravo (c), Mena, Isla, Silva, Sanchez, Vargas, Gutierrez, Medel, Jara, Aranguiz, Diaz.

Free kick lifted into the box by Sneijder, hooked clear by Vargas.

Chile have made an ambitious start. Lens draws a foul from Silva. Made the most of it.

Remember a draw will be enough for Holland to top the group on goal difference. The onus is on Chile to get a result here.

Early pressure from Chile, Janmaat forced to cover across and head clear.

First great banner of the match!

Kuyt has already been on defensive duty a couple of times. He wins a throw although Sanchez wanted the opposite. Foul by Robben on Medel.

Chile setting up with an attacking formation with three at the back, Holland have gone 4-3-3. Kuyt on the left.

Early territory for Chile as Cillessen slices a clearance to the stands. Foul by Lens on Medel. Free kick.

Referee Bakary Gassama blows the whistle to get this intriguing clash underway. Although both teams are through, topping the group is vital to avoid Brazil in the second round.

HEAD-TO-HEAD: These teams have met once before in an international match. That encounter is older than the World Cup itself and took place in the Consolation Tournament at the 1928 Olympic Games. The match finished 2-2 and Holland were declared winners after drawing of lots, for which Holland won a silver trophy - which it passed on to the Chilean team in an act of sportsmanship! Only five minutes to go...

RVP's view on Chile: "They looked very good. They looked fit, they look strong, they play together. I think that four or five players made Spain's life very hard. So we've got a big task. It will be very hard to at least draw against them."

Daryl Janmaat starts for Holland and he could be a lucky omen. They have not lost any of their 18 international matches in which he has played. Only one other Oranje player has played that many without ever losing, Hedwiges Maduro. Roy Makaay did not lose in any of his first 25 matches for Holland, before dropping from the ranks of the undefeated.

Arjen Robben has raised his career total of World Cup goals to six. He needs one more to reach Dutch record holder Johnny Rep, who scored seven World Cup goals.

Just like in 2006 and 2010, Holland have clinched a knockout stage berth with one group match to spare. In 2006, they drew 0-0 with Argentina in the remaining match, in 2010 they beat Cameroon 2-1. By punching their knockout stage ticket, Holland continued a tradition of never having been eliminated in the (first) group stage at the World Cup. The Oranje were dismissed at the first hurdle in 1934 and 1938, but those World Cups did not feature a group phase and only contained knockout rounds.

Jorge Sampaoli (Chile): "We’ve qualified with a game to spare, knowing of the possible rivals we could face in the knockout stage. We’ll be thinking about what might happen. Given the level the team is showing, these players prioritise their collective effort, over the individual. We’re of a collective disposition and that makes us a very difficult team to face. We’ll be trying to beat Holland and be top of the group. It’s not even going through my mind that Chile could end up champions of the world, but if we can play in the knockout stages as we’ve played against Spain, then we’ll have as good a chance as anyone."

STAT: Only once have Holland started off their World Cup campaign with three successive victories. They managed that four years ago at the 2010 World Cup.
