FIFA World Cup 2014: Chile vs Netherlands 36th Match in Pictures

The Netherlands defeated Chile 2-0 on Monday to win their group and likely avoid a World Cup showdown with Brazil.

Super-subs Leroy Fer and Memphis Depay grabbed the late goals to settle a hard-fought clash in Sao Paulo.

The victory gave Holland a 100 per cent record at the top of Group B after earlier wins against Spain and Australia.

More importantly the win is expected to see Louis van Gaal's side steer clear of Brazil in the last 16, and play either Croatia or Mexico instead.

The identity of the Netherlands' opponents will only be confirmed after the final matches in Group A later Monday.

Brazil face Cameroon in Brasilia while Croatia take on Mexico.
