Netherlands, Chile fight for top spot

BRASILIA. — The Netherlands and Chile will fight it out for top spot in Group B today and hope they can avoid a fearsome round two assignment against five-time World Cup soccer title winners Brazil. The match kicks-off at 6pm. Both teams have won their opening two games, putting them into the last 16 with a maximum six points each and sending reigning champions Spain and Australia crashing out.

Only goal-difference separates the two, with the Netherlands narrowly top following their 5-1 win over Spain and 3-2 scrap against Australia.

Brazil are favoured to qualify top in Group A, meaning they will face whoever finishes second in Group B — a match-up neither the Netherlands nor Chile will relish. But with the outcome of Group A, where Brazil, Mexico and Croatia are separated by just one point, far from clear, Group B`s winners could still end up facing the hosts. — Soccernet.
