It was an unbelievable and humiliating night for title holders Spain as they fell 1-5 to Netherlands in Group B World Cup opener.
Spain went ahead after Diego Costa was brought down in a controversial tackle to earn a penalty which was well converted by Xabi Alonso. But Robin Van Persie had a better plans for the Dutch as he levelled before the stroke of half time.
Expectedly, Spain was better in terms of possession in the first half but that obviously didn't worry the Dutch side.
Eight minutes into the second half Arjen Robben came up with a piece of magic to put his side ahead and before long, Stefan De Vrij headed home to extend the lead.
To make the night worse for the Spaniards, Casillas gifted RVP with a pass who delighted took his chance while Robben added the icing on the cake with a mesmerizing display infant of goal to make it five.
