Holland coach Louis van Gaal felt his side operated well in a changed system as they defeated Chile 2-0 in their concluding World Cup Group B fixture on Monday.
The Dutch emerged victorious from a slow-burning and often fractious contest in Sao Paulo, maintaining their 100 per cent record in the pool, after substitutes Leroy Fer and Memphis Depay both notched late goals.
It was a different performance to that Van Gaal’s side had produced when they beat Spain 5-1 in their Group B opener or when they then saw off Australia 3-2.
And the Oranje boss, quoted on FIFA.com, said of the Chile encounter: ‘It was a match of the highest quality.
‘We limited Chile to a handful of opportunities, we neutralised them extremely effectively — and particularly in the second half we created more chances. — Daily Mail.
