Chapter 1227Chapter 1218: Win the battle and advance to the top eight!

With Robben's goal towards the end of the first half, the Netherlands ended the first half with a goal.

Brazil's scorching heat left fans in the stands battered by the heat, and they took advantage of the half-time break to rehydrate.

After a 15-minute break, players from both sides returned to the field, and Mexico, which was behind, stepped up its offensive.

In the second minute of the second half, Mexico launched an attack from the left. The full-back Aguilar who assisted him made a cross. The Dutch central defender De Vrij leaped high and pushed the football out of the penalty area.

It was a header clearance.

Mexican forward Dos Santos from outside the penalty area unloaded the football from his chest, then got rid of Blind's marking, and volleyed vigorously with his left foot 25 meters in front of the goal. The football stuck to the turf and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen jumped up and rushed towards the football!

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

Go in?
The ball is in!
Mexico equalized the score!

The two sides are back on the same starting line!

This goal made the Dutch fans very surprised and uncomfortable, and made the Mexican fans very excited.

The game restarted, and the Netherlands launched a fierce attack on Mexico and accelerated the attacking tempo.Mexico responded calmly, forming a tight line of defense inside and outside the penalty area.

The narrow attack space made the attack of the Dutch Trident blocked again and again, and time passed like running water.

Dutch fans began to get nervous, could there be an accident tonight?
In the 205th minute of the second half, Chen Fan forced a breakthrough with the ball in front of the penalty area, forcing the opponent to foul. The Netherlands won a direct free kick in a good position.

Chen Fan stood 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 British Sky Sports commentator said loudly: "For Chen, this is the best chance to score! This is the opportunity to show his excellent free kick skills!"

The ESPN commentator said: "This is the fourth free kick in the frontcourt of the Netherlands in this game. Among the first three, Chen made one penalty, and the football went wide. This is his second direct free kick!
Can he seize the opportunity this time? "

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

"Di!"

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

"Hush!..."

The Mexican fans booed loudly, trying to interfere with Chen Fan's free throw.

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

Can I go in?
Countless people have such doubts in their hearts.

"Snapped!……"

Chen Fan ran faster and faster, kicked the football with his right foot, and the football suddenly flew up from the turf, and then flew past the far right side of the high-jumping wall!

After the football bypassed the wall, it immediately fell and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal!
Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa jumped up and flew towards the football!

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

The Dutch fans began to inhale suddenly, their heartbeat began to beat faster, and their blood began to flow rapidly...

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

The ball is in!
The score became two to one!

The Netherlands once again overtook the score!
The Dutch fans squeezed screams, howls, and cheers from their lungs...

The Mexican fans stared at their goal dumbfounded. Is this the arc of Chen's death?
Chen Fan, who scored the goal, took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and let out a clear cheer. His teammates howled and rushed towards him excitedly...

The broadcast seat was boiling:
"This is Chen's second free kick goal in this World Cup! This is Chen's first goal in this World Cup knockout match! This is Chen's seventh goal in this World Cup!"

"Dead corner! This is a world-class goal!"

"Chen is a man who can take a free kick like a penalty!"

"What is a superb free-kick technique? This is it!"

"Chen is making great strides towards his road to become king!"

Chen Fan's goal made the Netherlands take the lead again, and it also relieved the nervousness of the Dutch fans.

The game quickly resumed, and Mexico, which was behind, launched a fierce attack on the Netherlands, and the Dutch defense recovered.

The Dutch TV commentator said loudly: "The Netherlands has no problem with their offensive ability. Now is the time to test their defensive ability. If the Dutch team wants to achieve good results, they must have a good defense!"

In the No.30 minute of the second half, Mexico moved the ball from the left to the right. Francisco Rodriguez took the ball and made a breakthrough on the side. He crossed the center about one meter away from the bottom line!
Peralta, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, relied on De Vrij to push and shoot!
Such a close shot!

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

In the blink of an eye, Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen instinctively stretched out his right foot, miraculously blocking the football!
Another central defender in the Netherlands, Ferhag, took two steps forward alertly, made a big-footed clearance, and kicked the football out of the sideline, finally resolving the crisis in front of the goal.

"boom!……"

There was a huge sound of regret from the Mexican fans in the stadium, and the Dutch fans cheered with lingering fear.

The Netherlands broke out in a cold sweat. Van Marwijk walked out of the bench, came to the command area, and yelled at his defenders.

The game restarted, Mexico continued to attack the Netherlands, and the Netherlands responded calmly, looking for opportunities for a quick counterattack.

In the No.40 minute of the second half, Hernandez, who replaced Peralta, shot angrily from outside the penalty area. Dutch defender Ferhaher heroically blocked the football with his body.

After de Vry controlled the football, he immediately launched a quick counterattack and transferred the football to Sneijder in the hinterland!
"Snapped!……"

Sneijder made a long pass, and the football flew behind the Mexican defender!

Like a bolt of lightning, Chen Fan surpassed the Mexican defender and ran towards the football!

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

Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa abandoned the goal, and he wanted to rush out of the penalty area to act as the team's No.5 defender.

But Chen Fan didn't give him a chance. When Ochoa was only two meters away from the football, Chen Fan stretched out his right foot and firmly unloaded the football!
Ochoa, who rushed out of the penalty area at this moment, can only act as a defender.

With a feint, Chen Fan moved the football to his front right, and then pushed and shot!
Soccer flies into the net with ease!
The ball is in!
Three to one!

Chen Fan scored twice, helping the Netherlands expand its lead!

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

Mexican fans realized that barring a miracle, they would be saying goodbye to the World Cup.

After the game resumed, the Netherlands retreated across the board and formed a solid line of defense inside and outside the penalty area, never giving Mexico a good chance to score.

"Tick! Tick! Tick!..."

After 5 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. The game was over, and the Netherlands advanced to the quarterfinals with a score of [-] to [-]!

The Oranje Corps has taken a big step forward in defending their title!
