The shadow is the only part of the ball which the Netherlands G gets, as a well-placed shot by Mexico's dos Santos have the underdog leading 1-0 in the 2nd Half, thanks largely to the efforts of their own goaltender Ochoa.
Spectacular reflex saves by Mexican G Ochoa notwithstanding, their luck runs out as the furious Dutch get off the Sneijd(er) with an equalizer at 3 minutes left in FT; then, a penalty by Huntelaar in stoppage time has the goaltender looking the wrong way & his side leaving the competition with a 2-1 victory for the Netherlands.
