That's it, full time. Pretty bad from Brazil, but an enjoyable display from the Netherlands.

Cillessen is replaced by Vorm, and now Van Gaal has used every player in his squad in this tournament.

GOAL! Brazil 0-3 Netherlands. Wijnaldum scores, and the boos are back. Janmaat is set free on the right, and he cuts a great ball back to Wijnaldum, unmarked, and he squeezes his shot in at the near post.

Clasie is stretchered off, and Veltman is on.
89'
Clasie is down injured after catching his leg against Hernanes by the touchline, and is receiving treatment.
87'
Kuyt glances a header straight into the gloves of Cesar, looking to punch the ball away. It's out, and should be a corner, but it ends as a goal kick.
85'
Hulk has a free kick on the right of the box. He swings in a cross with his left foot, and Wijnaldum heads away.
82'
Robben collects a high ball brilliantly in the box and is bashed to the ground, but the referee gives nothing.
81'
Ten minutes left of the game. Maxwell fouls De Vrij on the halfway line with a late, but not malicious, lunge.
79'
Oscar gets to the byline and tries to toe a cross to the six yard box, which Vlaar hoofs behind. From the corner, Brazil take short and Oscar crosses it well behind.
78'
A spell of Brazilian pressure sees them equalise! No, wait, I mean win a throw in on the left.
76'
Hulk runs straight into the Dutch defence and is tackled. He has been appalling this World Cup. He used to be good.
75'
Van Persie slides a ball forward for Robben, and it's overhit. This allows Brazil to break, and Jo sends the ball to the left of the box for Hulk, and his shot is as you would expect - sliced miles wide.
74'
Sam Wallace, there, continuing his attempt to be the least funny journalist at the World Cup.

A goalmouth scramble as Robben and Wijnaldum try to organise a shot between them, allowing Brazil to clear. Hulk comes on for Ramires.

Janmaat comes on for the injured Blind.

Oscar throws himelf to the ground after he takes a tumble before Blind trips him. He does obviously trip him though, and is down injured. Oscar is the one booked.
66'
A cross from the right strikes Vlaar between chest and arm, but the referee and linesman give nothing. Probably a fair decision, but I HAVE SEEN THEM GIVEN.
65'
Get Neymar on. Even if he can't walk he can't be worse than the rest of the Brazil side. Vlaar comes across to hoof the ball out for a throw.
63'
Luiz tries another free kick, 25 yards out and central, and it's straight at Cillessen.
