Netherlands made it to the finals of the FIFA World Cup after a comprehensive 3 -2 defeat of South American representatives Uruguay. In a game that saw both teams looking forward to making history by making it to the finals, there was plenty of action from the moment the referee’s whistle was blown for the game to begin.
Uruguay were the first to start off rather well keeping possession in the early stages of the first half but it was the Oranje boys who broke the deadlock first with a sweet sensational strike from Giovanni Van Bronckhorst after just 18 minutes. From then on, the game swang back and forth in terms of possession with both teams taking a claim on the stakes.
Later on, during the 41st minute, Uruguay skipper Diego Forlan brought Uruguay to level terms with a trademark goal that left Netherlands goal keeper Maarten Stekelenburg well beaten. Wesley Sneijder notched his 4th goal of the tournament putting one foot for Netherlands in the final and in the 73rd minute Arjen Robben added a goal to seal victory for Netherlands. Uruguay pulled one back through Maxi Pereira but it was too late.
