Orange Soccer Jerseys

The Dutch Orange Soccer Jerseys has eliminated Brazil from the World Cup in a comeback victory and will play with Uruguay in the World Cup semifinals. It definitely was a tale of two halves, but finally Dunga saw his men suffer a defeat in Port Elizabeth.

Brazil made its first goal in the 10th minute when Felipe Melo pass to Robinho who spun and hit the ball with delightful precision past Stekelenburg. Brazil 1-0 Netherlands. Brazil dominated the first-half against a team which looked outclassed and Juan nearly scored in the 25th when his shot went over the net.

After 45 minutes it looked like this was going to be a very comfortable affair for the five-times champions. But the Netherlands leveled out of the blue in the 53rd minute when Wesley Sneijder fired in a pass from far outside the box that glanced off the head of Felipe Melo into the net. Brazil 1-1 Netherlands. After this goal it was clear something was wrong with the Brazilian team, which lost their composure completely. Dutch took the lead with 22 minutes remaining when Kuyt flicked on Robben’s corner and Sneijder was quickest to react and scored in the 68th minute, sending a header into the net. Brazil 1-2 Netherlands.

This was Netherlands’ first win over Brazil since the 1974 World Cup. The Orange Soccer Jerseys extended its team-record unbeaten streak to 24 games after it won all five World Cup 2010 matches. The Brazilian coach Carlos Dunga said that they knew it will be a very delicate game, but they weren’t able to maintain the rhythm they had in the first half and he assumed the responsibility for this result. It was for the first time ever Brazil lost a World Cup match that they had led at half time. In this game we also could watch the Brazil’s first-ever World Cup own goal.
