By The Dutch got off to a winning start thanks to a Danish own goal and a tap-in from Dirk Kuyt. Not much of interest happened in the first half, but shortly after the restart, Robin van Persie put in a deep cross from the left which Simon Poulson heads away. However, the ball deflects off Daniel Agger's back into the Danish goal. With just about 5 minutes left Eljero Elia is denied by a brilliant Thomas Sorenson save only for Dirk Kuyt to tap-in the rebound.
Things that I noticed during the game:
- Nobody has managed to find their free-kick range yet with the new Jabulani ball.
- Some really poor challenges are getting away unpunished whilst some seemingly not-so poor challenges are picking up yellow cards.
