#Netherlands produced one of the biggest shocks in #WorldCup history by coming from behind to annihilate reigning champions #Spain in a stunned Arena Fonte Nova. This was a repeat of the 2010 final but the Dutch fell in the group stage of Euro 2012, which Spain won to seal a third consecutive major international trophy. Spain lived up to their favourites tag by opening the scoring through a Xabi Alonso penalty, but Robin van Persie equalised with an incredible diving header just before half-time and Arjen Robben put Netherlands in front with a cool finish. Stefan de Vrij forced in a third from Wesley Sneijders free-kick, Van Persie dispossessed goalkeeper Iker Casillas to make it four and Robbens brilliant solo effort sealed the win. bbc/sport/0/football/25285043
