After a unimpressive first half the Dutch looked impressive in second half, earlier in first half Japanese side frustrated the Dutch player. In front of 62,000 fans at Moses Mabhida Stadium the Orange team looked unimpressive, but 53rd minute goal gave them the much needed win to keep European hop alive in World Cup 2010. In two games, the Dutch master scored just twice for themselves. Earlier in previous match with Denmark the Dutch got an own goal in their 2-0 win.

Cameroon Vs Denmark ( 1 - 2 )
 
In a Group E match in Pretoria, Cameroon were beaten by Denmark 2-1. With two defeats out of two matches, Cameroon got eliminated from the competion. Dennis Rommedahl hit a second-half winner as Denmark came back from a goal down to beat Cameroon 2-1 in Pretoria and eliminate the Indomitable Lions.

After getting an early lead in just 10th minute Cameroon was unable to defend it for long and conceded an easy goal in 33rd minute. Denmark scored another goal in 62nd minute and that was more than enough to show Cameroon an exit door out of WC. Both team worked well on there attack but totally forgot to work on defense. They conceded unnecessary goal early goals with much effort. What a game from Cameroon but bit unlucky in second half. Three minutes of injury time didn’t help them much. So the Cameroon mission ended in World Cup 2010.
