#WorldCupAtHome | Netherlands v Mexico (Brazil 2014)

This Sunday’s #WorldCupAtHome game was more than a riveting match-up – its ending produced a reaction still uttered by Mexican fans to this day: No era penal (It wasn’t a penalty).

As time ticked away in the second half of the Netherlands and Mexico’s Round-of-16 encounter at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, the North American heavyweights edged tantalisingly close to reaching their coveted ‘fifth game’ at a World Cup, a feat they had only pulled off as hosts. But Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar refused to relent for the South Africa 2010 runners-up. What ensued was one of the quickest World Cup reversals in recent memory.
