THE BIGGER PICTURE: The goal completed an incredible comeback for the Oranje, who looked done for when Lionel Messi converted a penalty in the 73rd minute to make it 2-0.
WHAT NEXT FOR NETHERLANDS? The two sides will play 30 minute of extra time to settle the tie, or else it will go to a penalty shootout to decide who goes through to face Croatia in the semi-finals.
