NETHERLANDS BEATS BRAZIL 2-1 IN WORLD CUP QUARTERFINAL 
The Netherlands came from behind to stun five-time champion Brazil at the World Cup on Friday.
The 2-1 win gave the Dutch a spot in the semifinals and sent the South American powerhouse packing.
Wesley Sneijder scored the winner in the 68th minute with a header following a corner kick.
Robinho had given Brazil the lead in the 10th, but the Netherlands equalized in the 53rd with an own goal from Felipe Melo.
It was a match of sharp contrasts for Felipe Melo, who set up the opening goal with a brilliant through pass but then was shown a direct red card in the 73rd for stepping on Netherlands winger Arjen Robben, leaving Brazil with 10 men.
The Netherlands reached the semifinals for the first time since losing to Brazil on penalties at the 1998 World Cup in France and will next face either Uruguay or Ghana.
