7 - All 7 of #NED's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's WC apps have been as a sub. No player of any nation has made more without starting a game. Cameo.

5 - #BRA striker Fred has only only directed 5 shots on target (including 1 goal) in his six #WorldCup2014 appearances so far. Benched.

And Netherlands score! Thiago Silva pulls back Robben in the box, penalty and Silva lucky to escape a red!

A closer look at the foul

Robin van Persie with a classy penalty! 3 mins, Brazil 0-1 Netherlands!

And the Netherlands double their lead! Brilliant attacking play, and a great finish from Daley Blind! With his wrong foot too! 17 mins, Brazil 0-2 Netherlands!

HEAT MAP: David Luiz has touched the ball once in his own area. He gave it straight to Daley Blind. Oops. #BRA pic.twitter.com/kdIQ8qxxrA

ALL TIME RECORD- The Netherlands is the FIRST team to use all 23 players in the history of the World Cup (when Vorm entered)

14 - #BEL (15) in 1986 were the last team to concede 14 or more goal in a World Cup before Brazil (14). Catastrophic.
