And Netherlands open the scoring through Arjen Robben! He ran through the Australian defence and scored with a neat finish! 20 mins, Australia 0-1 Netherlands!

And Australia equalize immediately through who else but Tim Cahill! Leckie with a cross and Cahill lashes a first time volley off the cross bar and into the net! Goal of the tournament contender? Anyway, 21 mins, Australia 1-1 Netherlands!

There were 70 seconds between Arjen Robben and Tim Cahill's goals
