Netherlands have moved on to become the champions of Group B thanks to 2-0 victory over Chile.

Both teams entered the final match of group play knowing they were through to the knockout stage, but the Dutch owned the game. The Chileans had their chances, controlling much of the possession and play only early in the first half.

The first goal came in the 76th minute through a header by Leroy Fer. The Dutch offered a final exclamation point in stoppage time, when Arjen Robben raced up the left side and sent a cross to Memphis Depay.

The Dutch will get the second place finishers of Group A in the knockout round. Chile will likely get Brazil, unless Cameroon can give them trouble later today. Arjen Robben and the Dutch are going to the knockout round as the Group B winners and may face Croatia or Mexico. ‎
