Robert Vittek become Slovakia’s top scorer beating Szilard Nemeth’s record but it was another story of too little too late as the Dutch saw off the Slovaks quite comfortably in the end.
Goals from Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder put the Oranje two up while Vittek’s goal came from a penalty in extra time after Marten Stekelenberg brought down Martin Jakubko.
That has been the Dutch story so far. They have done just enough to win and in their four matches so far have not been pushed hard. That will change in the quarterfinals as an encounter with Brazil could be on the cards. The Seleção are looking to overcome Chile in their match later today.
