No. 1218: Win the battle and advance to the quarterfinals!

The Netherlands ended the first half with a one-goal lead thanks to Arjen Robben's goal towards the end of the first half.

Brazil's scorching heat made it unbearable for fans in the stands, who used half-time to rehydrate.

After a fifteen-minute break, players from both sides returned to the field, and Mexico, who were behind the score, stepped up their attack.

In the second minute of the second half, Mexico attacked from the left and the assisted full-back Aguilar crossed and Dutch centre-back De Vrij leaped high to push the ball out of the box.

It was a header clearance.

Mexican striker dos Santos, who was outside the penalty area, unloaded the football on his chest, then broke away from Blind's marking, and fired a powerful left-footed volley from 25 meters in front of the goal, and the football flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal against the turf!

Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen leaps to his feet and pounces towards the football!

The next moment, the ball hit Cillessen's finger and continued to fly forward into the net!

The ball went in?

The ball is in!

Mexico equalized!

The two sides are back on the same page!

The goal was a surprise and uncomfortable for the Dutch fans, and it made the Mexican fans very excited.

The game restarted, and the Netherlands launched a fierce attack on Mexico and increased the tempo of the attack. Mexico responded with composure, forming a tight defensive line inside and outside the penalty area.

The small offensive space made the Dutch Trident's attack blocked again and again, and time passed as quickly as water.

Dutch fans are starting to get nervous, could there be an accident tonight?

In the 25th minute of the second half, Chen Fan forced the ball to break through in front of the penalty area, forcing the opponent to foul, and the Netherlands won a direct free kick opportunity in a good position.

Chen Fan got up from the turf, put the football on the penalty spot, and took a few steps back.

Hope appeared in the eyes of the Dutch fans in the stands, and the Mexican fans began to worry.

The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "For Chen, this is the best chance to score!" This is your chance to show off your best free-kick skills! ”

The ESPN commentator said: "This is the fourth free kick in the Dutch front court of this game, and Chen has one penalty in the first three, and the football is out of the goal, this is the second time he has taken a direct free kick!

Will he be able to take his chances this time? ”

On the field, Chen Fan glanced at the two upper corners of the goal, his eyes slightly closed.

"Tick!"

After Mexico lined up the human wall, the referee blew the whistle, and Chen Fan opened his eyes, his eyes as bright as stars shining in the night sky.

"Shhhh ……”

The Mexican fans let out loud boos in an attempt to interfere with Chen's free throw.

However, Chen Fan had already encountered this situation on the field, and the boos of the Mexican fans did not put any pressure on him, on the contrary, he took these boos as war drums and slowly ran towards the football!

Can you enter?

Such a question has arisen in the hearts of countless people.

"Smack! ……”

Chen Fan ran faster and faster, kicked the inside of his right foot on the football, and the football suddenly flew up from the turf, and then flew over the far right side of the human wall that jumped high!

The soccer ball goes around the wall and immediately falls, heading towards the top right corner of the goal!

Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa jumped to his feet and flew towards the football!

The stadium fell into a deathly silence, and the throats of the Mexican fans seemed to be stuck by a large hand, making them unable to make any sound.

The Dutch fans began to inhale sharply, their hearts began to beat faster, and the blood began to flow rapidly......

On the pitch, between the lightning and flint, the football flew past Ochoa's fingertips and flew into the net from the dead end!

The ball is in!

The score becomes two to one!

The Netherlands once again overtook the scoreline!

The Dutch fans screamed, howled, and cheered from their hearts......

Mexican fans stunned as they looked at their goal, this is Chen's death arc?

Chen Fan, who scored the goal, took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and let out a clear cheer, and his teammates howled and rushed towards him excitedly......

The broadcast seat was boiling:

"This is Chen's second free-kick goal of this World Cup! This is Chen's first goal in the knockout round of this World Cup! This is Chen's seventh goal in this World Cup! ”

"Dead end! That's a world-class goal! ”

"Chen is a man who can kick a free kick as a penalty!"

"What is a brilliant free-kick technique? That's it! ”

"Chen is striding forward on his road to becoming king!"

Chen Fan's goal gave the Netherlands the lead again and put the Dutch fans at ease.

The game soon resumed, with Mexico, who were behind the score, launching a fierce attack on the Netherlands, and the Dutch defence recovered.

The Dutch TV commentator exclaimed: "There is no problem with the attacking ability of the Netherlands, now is the time to test their defensive ability. If the Dutch team wants to do well, they have to have a good defence! ”

In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Mexico transferred the ball from the left side and moved the football to the right side, Francisco Rodriguez took the ball and formed a breakthrough on the side, and crossed the middle about a meter from the bottom line!

Peralta, who was ambushed in the middle of the penalty area, snuggled up to De Vrij and pushed it!

Such a close-range push!

The hearts of the Dutch fans hung in their throats, and the Mexican fans saw the hope of scoring.

In the flash of light, Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen instinctively stretched out his right foot and magically blocked the football!

Another Dutch centre-back, Verhag, took two smart steps forward and kicked the ball off the sideline with a big kick to finally resolve the goalmouth crisis.

"Boom! ……”

The stadium resounded with the huge regret of the Mexican fans, and the Dutch fans cheered with palpitations.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Van Marwijk stepped out of the bench and into the command area, yelling at his defenders.

The match restarted with Mexico continuing their onslaught at the Netherlands, who responded with composure and looked for a quick counter-attack.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Hernandez, who replaced Peralta, pulled out his foot and fired a fierce shot from outside the box, and Dutch defender Verhag heroically blocked the ball with his body.

As soon as De Vrij took control of the football, he launched a quick counterattack and shifted the football to Sneijder in the hinterland!

"Smack! ……”

Sneijder makes a long pass, and the ball flies behind the Mexican defender!

Chen Fan was like a bolt of lightning, overtaking the Mexican defender and rushing towards the football!

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for to fight back!

Mexico goalkeeper Ochoa dropped out of the net and was about to run out of the box to play as his team's fifth defender.

But Chen Fan didn't give him a chance, and when Ochoa was only two meters away from the football, Chen Fan stretched out his right foot and unloaded the football steadily!

Ochoa, who rushed out of the penalty area at this moment, could only be a defender.

Chen Fan shook the ball, dialed the football to his right front, and then pushed it!

Soccer Fly Effortlessly into the net!

The ball is in!

Three to one!

Chen Fan scored twice to help the Netherlands extend its lead!

Leading by one goal and leading by two goals are two different concepts entirely, and the Dutch fans finally let go of a hanging heart and cheered happily......

Mexican fans realise that unless there is a miracle, they will have to say goodbye to the World Cup.

After the resumption of the game, the Netherlands retreated from all sides, forming a solid defence inside and outside the penalty area, and never gave Mexico a good chance to score.

"Tick! Backbite! Backbite! ……”

After five minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the game was over, and the Netherlands advanced to the quarterfinals with a score of 3-1!

A big step forward for the Orange to defend their title!
