The Netherlands were only able to beat the Group G minnows 1-0 thanks to a Mathijsen goal in the first half. Kuyt admitted the Dutch performance was a disappointing one.

"For several reasons our ball pace was too low and therefore we hardly created any chances. Because we failed to score the second goal they kept their belief and played the match of their lives," said the Liverpool striker.
