The Netherlands' narrow World Cup hopes were given a first-half boost courtesy of Arjen Robben's double on Tuesday - the second of which was a left-footed missile that Sweden shot-stopper Robin Olsen could do little to thwart.

Robben and Co. headed into Tuesday's clash in Amsterdam needing to overturn a seven-goal swing against the Swedes to have a chance. Thanks to Robben, the deficit at the interval is five.
