AFTER 45 MINUTES: Netherlands 0 Spain 0

There was a curious scene in the 34th minute when a long pass back by the Dutch after an injury stoppage almost went into the Spanish goal, dpa reported.

Casillas leaped up and tipped the ball around the post for a corner, which the Dutch gave straight back to the Spanish captain.

The Dutch had a chance to go ahead on 37 minutes but Joris Mathijsen missed the ball when in a good position close to goal. On the rebound, Pedro raced towards the Dutch goal but his shot from outside the area went wide.

The Netherlands raised the pressure in the final minute of the first-half and Casillas did well to save a deflected shot by Robben near the far post.
