Holland became the second team after Argentina to qualify for the second round of the 2010 World Cup after they beat Japan 1-0 in a Group E match on Saturday. Midfielder Wesley Sneijder scored the only goal of the match shortly after halftime to put Holland at the top of Group E with a maximum six points from two matches.
In a tactical game of few chances, Japan defended well to keep Holland at bay until the 53rd minute when Sneijder pounced onto a clearance to rifle a 25m shot into the net.
