An excellent run from Elia down the left, who beat Geremi for pace, came to nothing when his pull-back found nobody in the box

More good work from Robben almost got Holland a penalty after his ball into Huntelaar forced M'Bia into bundling over the forward but nothing is given

Good defending from Assou-Ekotto prevents Robben from getting through on goal again

That goal could demoralise Cameroon but it's certainly sparked a response from Chedjou who has a go at Van Bommel for diving

The cross was put in at pace by Sneijder and was deflected behind by Song but it could have gone anywhere

Netherlands finally get the ball wide, to Elia on the left, but his cross is poor and Sneijder's chip from the rebound was never going to dip in time to find the net

M'Bia had a go at hitting one and took it well, firing it towards goal with tremendous power but failing to get through the mass of bodies on the edge of the box

Makoun wins a free-kick 25 yards out, in a similar position to that which got them the penalty ten minutes ago

Holland look a little bit shell-shocked by the way Cameroon are coming forward. With two new wingers now they'll want to get it down and give them a chance to run

A corner from Geremi is met by M'Bia at the front past but he had to stoop to direct the ball goalwards and couldn't keep it down

Van der Vaart scuffed the shot but it snuck under the wall and forced Hamidou into a simple save

Another free-kick in shooting range, this time for Holland. 25 yards out, right of centre

Great chance for Nigel de Jong, who got his outstretched foot onto the end of a long Van der Vaart free-kick but, eight yards out, couldn't direct the ball towards goal

Handball by Van der Vaart as Geremi tried to curl the free-kick over the wall. Eto'o will surely take this

Aboubakar involved again as Makoun wins a free-kick on the edge of the box. Shooting distance this one

Aboubakar works some magic on the edge of the box, beating two players before playing a reverse pass behind the defence for Makoun, who shot accross goal but couldn't beat Stekelenburg

Netherlands got the ball partially clear from the set piece but Geremi collected it outside the area and tried to curl an effort into the bottom corner, missing the goal by a couple of yards

Eto'o finally shows glimses of what he can do, shimmying his way past three Dutch defenders before being crowded out and having a shot deflected for a corner

A long ball forward from Boulahrouz, who is finally making some forays forward, is too hard for Van Persie and goes through to Hamidou

Kuyt involved again down the right, allowing Boulahrouz to cross from the byline but he couldn't pick out Van Persie

Sneijder takes charge of a free-kick, 35 yards out, but hits it straight at Hamidou

Van der Vaart picked out Kuyt on the right and the Liverpool winger put over a dangerous cross to Van Persie but the Arsenal man couldn't tuirn in the area with the ball without losing it

Eto'o almost picked out Choupo-Moting with a low cross from the left but Joris Mathijsen did well to slide in front of the striker and intercept the pass

An excellent, 40-yard pass from Van Bommel found Van Persie 30 yards out, the striker turned and ran towards goal before firing a shot which was too close to Hamidou

Eto'o does well to win a free-kick from Van Bommel in the middle of the pitch but Cameroon can't organise a good more forward. They need to use these set-pieces well as Holland look weak defending them

Cameroon are having the best of the early exchanges this half, without really threatening the Dutch goal yet

Bong does well down the left and wins a throw off Kuyt, which is taken quickly and finds Choupo-Moting who almost threads a ball through for Eto'o but it's a touch too heavy

Another set-piece from the right swung in by Geremi but Mark van Bommel wins the header and, after a slightly manic scramble, a weak shot comes in from a tight angle that Stekelenburg collects

An excellent cross from Geremi on the right is a little too high for Heitinga but Eto'o hadn't expected the ball to reach him so his touch was poor and Stekelenburg could collect

M'Bia does well to control a dangerous cross from Van Bronckhorst on his chest and get the ball clear after the left-back had combined well with Van Persie down the left

Cameroon can't follow Van Persie's lead, with Bong hitting a volley inside the Dutch area straight at a defender

Sneijder manages to get himself on the ball in a dangerous position, to the left of the penalty area, but his first attempt at a cross is block and a second, clipped effort finds Kuyt but he can't do anything with it

The African side are looking the more comfortable on the ball right now, keeping it with ease, but can't find an end product

Kuyt gets his first chance inside the area, spinning off Benoit Assou-Ekotto but firing wide of Hamidou's left-hand post

Makoun had a rare foray upfield and made his presence known, winning a header from Stekelenburg but not with enough accuracy

Cameroon are playing it around comfortably at the back, under little pressure

Makoun has taken up a more defensive position in the last 15 minutes in an attempt to stop Sneijder having such an effect on the game, a ploy that looks to be working well so far

Van der Vaart takes it himself and hits the target but it wasn't very well struck and was only a fraction to Hamidou's right so the keeper saves comfortably and holds on

Van der Vaart wins Holland a free-kick from Stephane M'bia just outside the penalty area

A smart back-heel from Van der Vaart inside the Cameroon box found Sneijder in space but he took too long to shoot and was closed down

Van Persie shows his frustration by attempting to lob Hamidou from 45 yards, missing by a long way

With Japan having scored against Denmark Holland need to be careful not to concede and lose their place at the top of the group

Great chance for Van Persie, who brought down a long ball on his chest, turned in the box and half-volleyed a shot towards goal but too close to Souleymanou Hamidou

Eric Choupo-Moting almost makes the Everton defender pay, rising at the front post to meet Geremi's set-piece but Giovanni van Bronckhorst just about got there first

Heitinga slices a clearance horribly, 30 yards out from goal, and manages to concede a corner

Holland get to apply some pressure down the left with Van der Vaart but Nicolas N'Koulou does well to block a couple of attempts to threat Van Persie in behind

Holland have just stopped being able to keep the ball the way they were in the opening few minutes, while Cameroon win another free-kick on the flank which Geremi wastes, hitting it over everyone and out for a goal kick

Geremi puts in another free-kick, this time from the right wing, curling dangerously into the box and forcing Stekelenburg to punch clear

Geremi seemed to attempt a shot from the set piece, all of 50 yards out. It was never going anywhere of use

Samuel Eto'o wins a free-kick from Johnny Heitinga after dropping deep to pick up the ball

Netherlands are, as expected, playing patient football but the three midfielders behind Van Persie are all interchangeable and look a menace

Jean Makoun gives Maarten Stekelenburg an early touch with a tame shot from 20 yards. Holland counter-attack, giving Rafael van der Vaart a chance to shoot but he scuffs it wide

Robin van Persie and Wesley Sneijder put together a well worked one-two but the Arsenal striker can't control the return pass

One of the new faces in the Cameroon team, Bong, almost found a way past Boulahrouz down the right wing but the defender held his ground well

An energetic start here even if neither side have been able to get into the final third of the pitch. Lots of off the ball movement and quick darts with the ball, very promising
