Netherlands and Chile met in the Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo to determine who would finish top of Group B and it was the European side that came out on top.

Needing just a draw due to their better goal difference, the Netherlands did better than that even without the suspended Robin van Persie.

In a match that didn't live up the spectacle it was billed as, it took until the 77th minute for the deadlock to be broken and it was Leroy Fer who managed it.

Memphis Depay then added a second in injury time following a fantastic run from Arjen Robben.

The result meant Netherlands won all three of their games while Chile qualify in second place with six points.
