expectation that this game will live up to its considerable billing we're live next so don't go anywhere hello it's great to be with and this is the scene here at the Magnificent Johan Kena in Amsterdam I'm Derek Ray in the commentary position and the longside me is the former Arsenal and West Ham Midfield player Stuart Robson and everyone here on tenter hooks you'd have to say with good reason it's the Netherlands versus Germany a real opening now and the keeper to the rescue when he takes some beating that's for sure it really is a top class save who's going get on the end of it still not clear well that looked so threatening but the danger [Applause] averted determin defending here's the starting 11 for the Netherlands ma Del plays alongside Virgil Van djk in central defense and rather than use a strike partnership they've gone with just the one player in attack and this is the initial 11 for the visitors today well they're playing the same shape really so it's all about getting control of that Central area and which of the wide players has the greatest effect on the game can he find someone at the far post appear to be in two minds and collected tidily he had plenty to think about well goep a mistake will there be a price to pay opportunity to take the lead spectacular save Top Class [Applause] goalkeeping who can he pick out that might still be problematic and what a close shade it was [Applause] the cross is on he's played it over to the near post well the keeper wasn't fooled by it at all the actal fact but a shocking pass really [Applause] shaping to shoot oh fine stop promising move from Germany but a good piece of Defending to bring it to an [Applause] end and unable to pick out a teammate and that'll be a throw [Applause] Wala body in the way he read the situation defensively and did his job a Fed over towards the back post the well to clear it away [Applause] and in the right position to read [Applause] it what a genuine opportunity but it was squandered go kick [Applause] and the ball back with the Netherlands now that's a good pass oh but there's defensive diligence for you when things look dangerous and the Defenders know they need to get tighter targets available cross comes in oh really good header but the goalkeeper there's a cover up and an opportunity here for them to get their noses in front from the corner clearance needed to be better oh a smart stop [Applause] can he find the net not to be in terms of the Finish he succeeds in clearing [Applause] it the attack continues they're making considerable progress oh that's textbook goalkeeping well just listen to these fans they're urging their team to score here and take the lead over it comes the crossbar got in the [Applause] way well they won't come closer than that but they are creating chances and surely a goal is coming [Applause] well nothing to split the two sides but this move looks promising delivered into the box and a Super Header it looked as though it might be going in a corner will ensue trying to pick out a teammate a struggle to get it away properly stopped a certain [Applause] goal and there it is the halime [Applause] whistle so the two teams have switched around and the second half is [Applause] underway well Foul Play says the referee well deemed to have been a cautionable offense well no question about it he deserved his booking there plenty of room in the wide area it's a cross towards the near post but goalkeeper ball disappointingly for them Kimi and havit Germany could get in behind the defense but the danger averted for now this is looking threatening well it could be on for him here oh yes one n it is and it doesn't come as a huge surprise well as you can see he gave the keeper no chance there he looked so confident didn't he that's a cool finish [Applause] and the action underway again the owners very much on Germany to find a response [Applause] now and very deply cut out good idea he's in position and a goal it is the keeper ready up part of the equation well here it is again he goes past his marker so easily with just a drop of the shoulder and then he makes the Finish Look So Easy taking it around the goalkeeper before slotting it home it's a lovely [Applause] goal so the ball rolling again 2- n the [Applause] score R so half an hour remaining that's a nice looking ball pretty comfortable piece of Defending well he knows it the shot needed to be just a bit [Applause] lower substitution time is is here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] M and Germany exploiting the space on the flank and still danger here and it goes at the second time of asking but the goalkeeper won't be proud of that moment well as you can see it's an error from the goalkeeper you just can't split into a dangerous area like that so the ball is rolling again 2-1 the score line Ryan graphen well they're a bit like a passing machine and you can understand why they want to play it that way and front as they are well found wanting in the throw in Department there [Applause] a took a really smart piece of Defending to stop them can they do something positive on the Counterattack well it was a terrific piece of play that was until we got to the finishing part well as you said great counter attack but a wayward finish in the end good to watch though for Frankie and they're making a change just knocked it out of there excellent referee advantage in operation good run very much in control of the situation now who can he pick [Applause] out is it going to end up being productive for them well nothing for them to worry about in the end good defending giving it a try Waring him is it going to be oh tremendous reflex action there from The Keeper well he didn't have long to react did he but that's a top class save I have to say so a Personnel change then who can they pick out well it was straight up the keeper but technically good goalkeeping the Netherlands get the throw in d f fine cross into the middle just the clearance that was called for well what an atmosphere we've got inside this Stadium these supporters are doing everything they can to get their team over the Finish [Applause] Line dong G [Applause] on the ball in an attacking position but they've got to do something positive quickly well it comes down to the final 5 minutes and continues this run well possibilities in the center oh he really brues the crossbar CR into the penalty area and the problem not completely solved oh it's in and that might be the goal that clenches it for them No Looking Back Now [Applause] surely well here it is a again he hits this so sweetly doesn't he that's a brilliant goal from a top class [Applause] player so they get the ball moving again 3-1 the score line here what's going to happen next the referee's verdict is three additional minutes [Applause] GPO will it be just cleared away in the nick of [Applause] time and there goes the final whistle a story of misery from a German point of view it is a defeat here that they certainly weren't planning for Stuart your thoughts well they were probably the better team but they didn't make the most of the chances they created and as a result ended up losing it's disappointing for them really well there's a good reason why we're highlighting him really
