Netherlands 1 - 1 Brazil

First substitution for Brazil in the 62nd minute. Michel Bastos out, Gilberto Melo in.  This is more like a prevention because Bastos  already with a yellow card  and with this tough game risking to get another one and be sent off... so better change him now...

Netherlands after this equalizer result gaining confidence and Brazil losing concentration....  Netherlands pressing.....  

Kaka misses the target after a right footed shot.....

Goooallllll Netherlandsssssssssssssssssssssssss in the  68th minute with a headed goal  by Wesley Sneijder  from close range  after a corner kick and assist by  Dirk Kuyt .   wow....  Julio Cesar cannot believe it and just watch the ball inside while Sneijder runs touching his forehead like saying " I did it with my forehead".....  It's the 4th goal from Sneijder just like Higuain and Robinho.
