Experts and fans from around the world expected a closely contested match when Spain took on Portugal on Tuesday. The first hour of the match was disappointing as both teams were unable to score or play a really attacking game.
It was only towards the latter part of the game, when things got interesting. In the 63rd minute, David Villa scored yet again for Spain, when he broke through their defense and struck a shot straight at Eduardo who stopped it but the rebound went straight back at Villa, who made sure his second shot went into the back of the net. |

The Paraguay vs Japan match went down to the wire as the match was decided on a penalty shootout. Both teams were unable to score during the first 90 minutes and the mandatory period of extra time was added to see if either team could score.
Both teams tried hard to score but in the end, with the scores on 0-0, a penalty shoot out was called to decide the result of the match. Paraguay chose Edgar Barreto, Lucas Barrios, Christian Riveros, Nelson Valdez and Oscar Cardozo and all of them scored for Paraguay. |

Slovakia played extremely well to reach the round of 16 but was unable to get past the Netherlands on Monday. The Dutch played an extremely attacking game and were in complete control of the match.
The Dutch took the lead in the first half when Arjen Robben put in a brilliant solo run and then struck a powerful shot to give the Dutch a 1-0 lead. Robben who has been recovering from an injury has been extremely well nursed by Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk. This was the first game in which he decided to play Robben in the starting eleven. |
