The Dutch national team secured their final goal with 24 minutes left when Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder converted a Robben cross. Sneijder charged and found Van Persie, who picked out Arjen Robben. Finally, Sneijder, who was in a good position with adequate space, scored an excellent back heel.
