In the game, 5 goals were scored, the audience saw a real football feast with a brewing sensation and outstanding skill of many players. The Dutch national team managed to beat the representatives of the green continent with a score of 3 - 2. Robben was the first to send the ball into the opponent's goal, but then the Dutch themselves conceded a very beautiful ball. Tim Cahill kicked in from the crossbar and sent the ball into the goal. In the second half, the Australians took the lead, but the Netherlands national team was able not only to recoup, but also to come out ahead.

Australia remains the last match with the Spanish team.
The legendary stadium Maracanã has witnessed yet another failure of the Spanish national team. In the game against Chile, the question was decided which of these two teams will continue to fight for the exit from the group. Already in the first half, the South Americans twice hit the gates of the Spanish national team, which delighted the fans of the stadium in Rio de Janeiro and all those who were worried about Chile or were rooting against Spain. In the second half, the 2010 world champions tried to print Claudio Bravo's goal, but this never happened. The final victory of the Chilean national team 2 - 0 leaves no chances for Spain, which will leave the tournament ahead of schedule after the group stage. The Chileans will face the Netherlands for the first place in Group B.
The final match of the seventh game day was the meeting in Manaus, where the Croatian national team beat Cameroon. The game was remembered for the four goals of the Europeans. All the Africans could answer were four red cards, which were received by the players of Cameroon. Now the Croats have a good chance of qualifying from Group A. In the last round they will play with Mexico, and Brazil will test the Cameroonians.
