It appeared unintentional, but Wesley Sneijder was fortunate to avoid the Netherlands' fourth yellow card of the half after his wayward attempt on a 50-50 ended with the bottom of his boot in Sergio Busquets' leg. Sneidjer was given a "talking to" by Howard Webb but was let-off without a booking.
The resulting free kick, from 45 yards out by Xabi Alonso, was rocketed four feet to the left of goal, the strike giving the crowd a moment of excitement in the 41st minute.
