Day 12 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup was the beginning of the end of group stage for all 32 teams, meaning that starting today, teams would be eliminated two by two as the other four progress to the round of 16 and today we saw a total of 14 goals, leaving the overall tally at 108 goals scored!
Group B was up first with Australia facing Spain while Chile faced Netherlands. The more important of the two games was Chile v Netherlands as the winner would be earning their place at the top of the group B ladder. While Australia and Spain were playing for pride and third place in their group. Ultimately it would be Spain that would beat the Socceroos 3-0 in Spain’s first and only win of the tournament, leaving them in third place with 3 total points. Chile faced a strong Netherlands and while they held an over 60% of possession, they failed to net a goal and fell victim to Netherlands’s quick and effective counter attacks that cost Chile the game that would end 2-0 leaving Netherlands in first place followed by Chile in second.
Group A featured Mexico v Croatia and Brazil v Cameroon. The final game was a must win for Croatia who were fighting against being eliminated from the tournament while Brazil was playing to solidify their first place spot. Mexico needed a draw or win to progress and got that even when the referee did not call a clear hand-ball in the box as well as a foul committed on Javier Hernandez. This didn’t stop Mexico as they went on to score twice minutes apart from each other before netting in a third goal that was only countered by one Croatian goal. Final score of 3-1 for Mexico and 4-1 for Brazil leaving the Mexicans in second place by goal difference. Mexico will now face Netherlands in the round of 16 while Brazil will face Chile.
