Chile was now placed in the second position of Group B of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, after losing 0-2 to the current universal runner-up, Holland (The Netherlands).

The South American team pushed more for the victory and had a greater control of the ball, but they could not prevent two lethal counterattacks giving Holland two goals, scored by Leroy Fer at 77 minutes and Memphis Depay, already on discount time (90 + 1).

The Chilean team opted to hold the reins of the meeting in the Arena Corinthians Stadium before a Dutch team goping backwards and based in its counterattacks led by their star, Arjen Robben, who scored one of the two goals.

Meanwhile, Spain said goodbye Monday to the 2014 World Cup of Brazil-2014, with a 3-0 win against Australia.

The scoreboard was opened after an excellent move bound by Juanfrán Torres and David Villa, completed by the latter, with an elegant heels touch to the back of the net at the 36th minute.

Thus ended the first half, and in the second, Fernando Torres scored the second,at the 69th, after a masterful pass from Andrés Iniesta, who left Torres alone against Australian goalkeeper Matt Ryan to touch the bottom of the arch with class and precision.

The last goal was scored by substitute Juan Mata at the 82nd minute, after receiving a pass from also-substitute Cesc Fábregas, to finish below the rival goalkeeper.

Spain presented the second oldest team once more in its history (not only in World Cups), since the standard age in this match was 29 years and 67 days, only surpassed by the team Spain used on May 31, 1962, against Czechoslovakia.
