Netherlands against Latvia

Makaay lays the ball off for Reizier to shoot - Kolinko opts to punch rather than catch

The ole's are going round the ground now - every pass cheered by the Dutch supporters

Oh, excellent from Overmars. Rubins gives chase forcing the Dutch winger to cut back - and he fails to find and orange shirt with the cross

Great goal, excellent play from Robben, a fine touch by Makaay and a classy finish. Holland are qualifying in style here

GOAL!!!!!

Robben bamboozles the Latvian defence again, great stuff, Makaay is picked out just inside box. Makaay drags it past the diving tackle of Stepanovs creating space for the shot...

A final change for Latvia, Andrejs Stolcers - released by Fulham at the beginning of the month - comes on for Imants Bleidelis

Fantastic play by Robben, he jinks past Zemlinskis and Stepanovs which sees him in on goal - only to drag his effort weel wide of the opposite post

Holland are happy to pass it around now, they could have gone for more goals

The atmosphere was dead when Germany took the lead - now it's a different story

The Dutch fans are in fine voice - the party has begun in Braga

Cocu picks up a knock following a tackle by Astafjevs, but he'll be okay to continue

A change for Holland, Wesley Sneijder on for Edgar Davids

Goal - Germany 1-2 Czech Republic: Milan Baros puts Holland on the brink of qualification

Overmars again poses problems on the right, and intelligently cuts it back for Seedorf - who sees his shot palmed out again

Laizans brings it forward as Pahars looks to get into the box - the pass is poor and Van der Sar comes out to take command

A Latvian substitution: Andrejs Prohorenkovs is replaced by Juris Laizans

Now Holland do have the chance to fire in a set-piece, just outside the D. Makaay smacks one, Kolinko fumbles and Overmars in on hand - Kolinko gets down again to block. The linesman raises his flag for offside against Overmars anyway

Overmars breaks foward and goes down after a shove from Rubins - no free-kick

Seedorf takes from the left, Kolinko gets to it with an unconvincing fist

Holland make a change - Roy Makaay on for Ruud van Nistelrooy

Free-kick to Holland out on the right. Robben floats it towards Stam and it hits a Latvian back - corner

Michael Ballack hits the post for Germany, but it remains 1-1

Robben finds Overmars on the right, he goves for the return pass but Lebanovs is wise to it and intercepts

Pahars looks for Prohorenkovs at the back stick, Van der Sar comes out to collect

Overmars shows great control, looks up and picks out Robben with an inch perfect cross - only for the winger to head yards wide. That was a decent chance for the new Chelsea signing

Robben crosses from the left, Kolinko gets a hand to it to take it away from Van Nistelrooy and Overmars slips as the ball runs away from him

Overmars does brilliantly on the right, plays in a low cross for Van Nistelrooy but Stepanovs does brilliantly to get a toe to the ball and edge it away from the Manchester United striker

Now Reiziger unleashes a powerful shot from distance, and again Kolinko has to be smart to push it away to his right

A change for each side. Marian Pahars replaces Maris Verpakovskis, while Marc Overmars is introduced in place of Andy Van der Meyde

Holland build again. Davids finds Van Nistelrooy who lays it off to Van der Meyde - his shot is kept out by Kolinko. Almost a third

Van Nistelrroy finds space, he opts against the volley and fires in a shot from the angle - good save down to his right by Kolinko

Van der Meyde skips past Blagonadezdins and finds space on the flank. He lofts in a cross - but again it's an awful effort and a goal-kick to Latvia

It's still 1-1 between Germany and the Czechs, so it's looking good for Holland

Van der Meyde picks it up on the left and produces one of the worst crosses of the tournament - finding the intriguing grass mound behind the goal

Robben tries some trickery on the edge of the area - Stepanovs does brilliantly to slide in and win it

Holland are being much more cautious now, happy to play it around in deeper areas - much to their own fans' dismay

Van Nistelrooy is a little too strong with Stepanovs, free-kick

Verpakovskis comes forward and has Prohorenkovs available - he tries to cut back but loses his footing

This is much better from Latvia, if only they had been so adventurous in the first 45 minutes

Lobanovs is the first into the referee's notebook, after a foul on Seedorf

Holland attack once more, Robben bursts past Lobanovs and fires one in - straight at Kolinko

Astafjevs goes down under the challenge from Davids - but no free-kick

Free-kick to Holland now. Seedorf plays it square to Robben, and his drilled ball finds Van Nistelrooy unmarked at the back stick - and he somehow sidefoots well over

Rubins takes from the right, it's laid off for Lebanovs who controls before firing in a shot - and it just strikes the foot of the post, great effort

Rubins gets it on the right flank now. He evades Van Brockhorst and fires in a shot which is deflected behind

Great move by Latvia, Rubins is completely free as he arrives on the edge of the box - Van der Sar dives to his right to palm it away. Prohorenkovs pass from the rigth flank was fantastic - unlucky for Latvia

Holland the second half started, no changes

Germany are being held by the Czech Republic, meaning at the moment Holland will take on Sweden in Faro-Loule. But there's 45 minutes for Rudi Voeller's side to grab a goal and stay alive

It's been all Holland, with 14 shots to Latvia's one. In truth the Dutch should be further in front and Van Nistelrooy could have five

And there goes the half-time whistle

Robben shows a turn of pace to strip Isakovs, he gets to the byline and looks to cut it back - and finds Kolinko

Latvia have at least shown some attacking intention in the last five minutes - too little too late

One minute to be added on

Van der Meyde crosses from the right, Zemlinskis heads to safety

Lobanovs finds Bleidelis on the right, he stumbles and can't get a cross into the box

Corner to Latvia! Rubins delivers from the left, Stam rises unmarked to clear - no real danger for Holland

Davids feeds in Seedorf who angles it to Van Nistelrooy - his powerful first time drive is well blocked by Kolinko

Holland playing it around with ease, Latvia just can't get hold of the ball

Van der Meyde takes from the left, but Latvia clear

Davids and Van der Meyde link up well, Van Nistelrooy turns in the box and chips it to the back stick - Isakovs has to put it behind

This game's finished now. All that matters is the performance of Germany - can they get back in front?

Fine delivery from Seedorf, a neat head back from Cocu and Van Nistelrooy had the simple task to nod it over the line - making Ruud joint leading scorer with Wayne Rooney on four

GOAL!!!!

Robben is flattened yards outside the box on the left, Astafjevs the guilty party. Seedorf stands over it, and floats it to the back stick for Cocu - he nods it down for Van Nistelrooy...

Reiziger gets in a hanging cross from the right, Robben's header is an easy take for Kolinko

Robben collects just outside the box, he teases Isakovs and produces a shot with his weaker right foot - which is just wide of the post

Goal - Germany 1-1 Czech Republic: Heinz with a sublime free-kick. As it stands now it's Holland who will meet Sweden in the semi-finals

Corner to Holland. It's Robben from the right - it drifts just behind Stam

Free-kick to Latvia, Rubins plays it into the arae but it's poor and Holland clear with ease

It was a goal that had to come, and Van Nistelrooy was cool enough to slot home from the spot - that's his third of the tournament

GOAL!

It's Van Nistelrooy who steps who, he fires to the right and Kolinko goes the other way...

Davids does well on the left, cuts inside the box and goes down under the challenge from Bleidelis - penalty!

Latvia have barely been out of their own half, while the Dutch have only created one real goalscoring opportunity

The free-kick is fully 30 yards out, Seedorf hits it and it flies inches over the bar - a fine effort from so far out

Van Nistelrooy picks up a knock when blocked off by Stepanovs and needs a bit of treatment - he'll be okay

Seedorf tries an effort from 25 yards, Lobanovs makes the block

Goal - Germany 1-0 Czech Republic: Michael Ballack on target to create a scoreline that would eliminate both of these sides

Corner to Holland again. Seedorf plays it short to Robben, whose return ball is way too short and Verpakovskis gets a foot in

It's a sea of orange inside this unique little stadium - few Latvian fans in Braga tonight

Davids feeds Van Nistelrooy inside the D, who fires wide with the snap shot on the turn

Davids does well to get round the back on the left and gets a low cross - Kolinko's there to collect

It's all Holland, and surely only a matter of time until the Dutch break the deadlock

It's still goalless between Germany and the Czechs, and there's not much happening

Van der Meyde goes down in the box looking for a spot-kick from Blagonadezdins - never a penalty

Robben takes the corner from the right, but there's too much on it. Goal-kick

Robben now, in the centre. He spots the neat run of Van Nistelrooy and plays the slide-rule pass. Van Nistelrooy is clean through and looks to dink it over the top of Kolinko - who does well to make the block. A good chance goes begging

The corner comes in from Robben, Kolinko gets a fist to the ball but it drops to Seedorf - and his wayward volley almost clears the cliff-face

Van der Meyde links up with Reiziger, it's given to Cocu 25 yards out who smashes a shot goalwards - and Kolinko has to get down low to his left to push it around the post

Holland break and Robben is fed down the left, he puts a hanging cross into the box - Kolinko claims

Zemlinskis takes the free-kick, lofting it up front - but it's such a waste and possession is gifted back to the Dutch

Cocu is penalised now for a high boot on Astafjevs

Reiziger and Seedorf are too clumsy in an exchange on the flank, allowing Astafjevs to rob them with ease

Kolinko is strugglin with his kicking. Stepanovs had taken the first goal-kick and now a clearance from the 'keeper goes flying straight out

Holland are enjoying a lot of possession, Latvia struggling at the moment

Seedorf tries the measured ball through to Van Nistelrooy - he holds on too long and the Manchester United striker is ahead of the last defenfer

Van Nistelrooy looks to get on the end of a long ball, there's a tug on Stepanovs - free-kick

Holland push and probe around the Latvia box. Van der Meyde crosses, but it's just behind Van Nistelrooy

Davids on the ball in the centre now - skipper Astafjevs makes a superb tackle to win it cleanly

Verpakovskis does very well up against Stam. He holds off the defender to get into box and fires into the side netting. A warning for Holland

Seedorf tries a snap shot with only 20 seconds on the clock but it goes well over

Latvia get the game started - attacking the 'grass verge' end of the Braga stadium

Holland and Latvia need Germany to slip up if they are to stand a chance of progressing - and the Czechs have made nine changes

Latvia coach Aleksandrs Starkovs makes no alterations to the side that held Germany to a goalless draw, with influential midfielder Valentins Lobanovs having recovered from a minor injury.

Holland coach Dick Advocaat makes two changes. As expected, Rangers defender Frank de Boer deputises for Wilfred Bouma, who was ruled out by an Achilles injury. Michael Reiziger is chosen to replace the suspended right-back John Heitinga, who was sent off during his team's 3-2 dramatic loss against the Czechs.
