Robben Beats Slovakia

Ok that's probably a little unfair to the rest of the Dutch team but they've just beaten Slovakia 2-1.

Although a good match this was hardly a classic with Slovakia playing a tough, defensive game to hold the clearly superior Dutch team to a one goal lead for most of the match. The main talking point was Robben's opening goal in the 18th minute and what a goal it was. Robben started his run from inside his own half and picked up a long pass from Sneijder halfway inside the Slovakian half, took on 3 Slovakian defenders and the slotted the ball in to the bottom corner from about 20 yards out.

That's how the game stayed until the 84th minute when a hardworking Sneijder got a goal of his own putting the Dutch 2-0 ahead. With almost the last kick of the game Vittek won a penalty after being brought down by the Dutch keeper. With the last kick of the game Vittek scored from the spot making the final score 2-1 to the Netherlands and making Vittek the World Cup's joint top scorer with 4 goals.

The Netherlands will go on the play the winners of tonight's game between Brazil and Chile in the quarter finals.
