World Cup Quarter-Finals, Chinese Team VS Portugal

Both the Netherlands team and Spain team were favorites to win this World Cup, with the Orange Army even rated slightly higher by outsiders.

The two teams should have met in the final, but because Spain failed to finish first in their group, history's script took a dramatic turn, and these two seeded teams met early in the quarterfinals.

The result was not much different from history. Spain team held the advantage in possession, but their lackluster attack left them unable to score for a long time.

Relying on Sneijder's passing and Robben's speed, the Netherlands team created two excellent One-on-One opportunities in the second half.

Especially in the 61st minute of the second half, Sneijder's brilliant pass left Robben with no defenders within three meters when he received the ball.

It should have been a certain goal, but Robben unfortunately came up against Casillas, who had won the World's Best goalkeeper award for three consecutive years.

Facing Robben's shot, Casillas dived the wrong way, but his foot caught the ball and denied Robben's placed finish.

After 90 minutes of regular time, neither side had scored, and the match was dragged into extra time.

Then in extra time, Torres delivered an extremely crucial cross from the wing attack. A Netherlands defender made a mistake while clearing the ball, and Fàbregas collected it before threading a diagonal pass into the box for Iniesta.

Iniesta seized the golden opportunity and smashed a volley into the net.

It was the only goal of the match, but it was enough for Spain team to eliminate the Netherlands team and advance to the semifinals!

After watching that match, all one could say was that the Dutch had deserved to lose.

In a match of this level, there were often only one or two chances. Take
