Day 24

Holland 3 Brazil 0

The two managers have a chat about exchanging Christmas cards

The Dutch fans were well outnumbered by the locals

Brazilian fans were hoping for a change of fortune

It was not to be - as - in the first minute Robben dashed down the wing and was brought down by Thiago Silva

The foul appeared to start outside the area but the referee gave a penalty and booked the offender when it might have been a red card

Van Persie scored from the spot and Holland went into a very early lead

Celebration time for Van Persie and company

It was shock horror time for the fans of Brazil - yet again!

There was even worse to come for Brazil when Luiz headed back into the area and there was Blind to control the ball....

.......and whack the ball past Cesar to make it two nil after just 16 minutes - easy for the Netherlands.

Ex City Maicon is fouled just outside the penalty area by Wijnaldum

The free kick is missed by all

Kuyt has to get treatment for a cut head

Ramires is fouled by Vlaar

Fernandinho on in the second half gets a booking for a foul

Fernandinho and Robben clash

Oscar goes down when tackled ......

...but is yellow carded for diving!

City's 'silent assassin ' gets in some practice before next season

Brazil continued to be under pressure which must be worrying for their supporters

and so Holland finished with a three goal margin while Brazil continued to dismay their fans

Van Persie gives a fan a souvenir

The days of Pele have gone
