By Rida Zaheer

Holland won the quarterfinal and made her place in comming semifinal . The match was really proven to be a fight of nerves of supporters sitting in the stadium.

Louis van Gaal claimed he had always planned to throw the substitute goalkeeper, Tim Krul, on to the pitch at the end of extra time to become Holland’s unlikely shootout hero.

At the end of a breathless 120 minutes in which Costa Rica had dealt with everything the Dutch could throw at them, Van Gaal sent the Newcastle United goalkeeper on for Jasper Cillessen. Krul went on to save penalties from Bryan Ruiz and Michael Umaña to book Holland a semi-final with Argentina in São Paulo on Wednesday.
