Wednesday's first match proved to be a cracker as Netherlands fought back from 2-1 down to beat Australia 3-2.

The Dutch, who thrashed Spain 5-1 on Friday, went ahead through Arjen Robben's goal before a spectacular volley from ex-Everton man Tim Cahill made it 1-1 a minute later.

Crystal Palace's Mile Jedinak converted a penalty to put Australia in front but Netherlands won it with further goals from Robin van Persie and Memphis Depay.

Netherlands have lost in the final on three occasions, including four years ago, and they are already in the last 16 in Brazil. Match highlights.

"It's unimaginable. I saw this happen and I need to find out exactly what happened, why exactly these two players exploded," said Cameroon coach Volker Finke.

The incident almost continued in the tunnel, but injured striker Samuel Eto'o, who watched the match from the sidelines, stepped in to separate the pair.

But now the party in Brazil is over. After only two games they are out.
