In the most awaited game on Friday, the Netherlands showed their class as they thrashed defending champions Spain.

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • The game was predicted as some as the biggest game in the FIFA showpiece. However, it ended up one-sided as the Dutch avenged their 2010 World Cup final defeat by thrashing Spain with a record 5-1 margin.

    Spain took the lead via a controversial penalty from Xabi Alonso in the 27th minute. A brace from Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, and a goal from Stefan de Vrij turned the tide as the Oranje's inflicted a crushing defeat to La Roja in Salvador.The extraordinary drama in Group B has potentially turned permutations following Chile's 3-1 win over Australia this evening in Cuiabá.

    The defeat was Spain's worst since their 6-2 hammering at the hands of Scotland in 1963.
