Here’s Jonathan Liew’s match report from Wellington:
So the Dutch may feel a bit aggrieved after that one, given the decision to cancel what seemed to be a well-deserved penalty kick. But that was just one pivotal play of many, and Spain got the better of the majority of those.
Spain will next face either Sweden or Japan. If it’s the latter, that’s a must-see matchup, no matter the hour.
That’s all for me today and probably all you’ll hear from me during this Cup, at least live. Thanks for following along for this game and every game. It’s always a treat, especially with a game this good and with readers blowing up my inbox with their insights. Enjoy the rest of the action.
