FIFA World Cup 2014

Robben hits 50

Netherlands forward Arjen Robben finished off an impressive run from deep in-field, with a trademark left-footed shot, to net the 2014 World Cup’s 50th goal, against Australia, in their Group B encounter.

The Bayern Munich man’s strike preceded a clinical Robin van Persie finish and a decisive Memphis Depay effort, as the Oranje completed a 3-2 comeback win.

The Socceroos’ goals came from a Mile Jedinak spot kick and a sensational Tim Cahill shot, which left the goalposts shaking.

Louis van Gaal’s men next meet Chile, in a Group B-deciding dispute.

Who will score the tournament’s 100th? Stay put, the show has just begun. – @SabeloBoksburg
