Dutch see off spirited Slovakia
Posted Tuesday, June 29, 2010 by PA
Holland booked a World Cup quarter-final spot after a narrow 2-1 victory over Slovakia in Durban.
Arjen Robben opened the scoring in the 18th minute before Wesley Sneijder doubled his team's lead with six minutes remaining. Slovakia scored a consolation goal in stoppage time when Robert Vittek struck from the penalty spot after substitute Martin Jakubko was brought down by Holland goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
Stekelenburg had earlier made a great save from Vittek's close-range strike in the 66th minute to deny Slovakia an equaliser.
