WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: NETHERLANDS 2 - ANDORRA 0
Two goals by Robin Van Persie were enough to ensure Netherlands appearances at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil next summer. The Dutch, World Cup runners up in 2010, had to wait until the 49th minute to take the lead against Andorra who has lost all eight games, scoring none and conceding 24.
Van Persie`s second after a goalkeeping error means the Netherlands will take part in their 10th World Cup next year. Qualification represents something of redemption for Dutch coach Louis van Gaal who failed to steer the country to the 2002 World Cup in his previous stint as coach.
