The hosts pushed Kazakhstan back and created a few chances. Robin van Persie even found the net, but his goal was disallowed for offside.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the following attack, Stefan de Vrij lost the ball and Kazakhstan profited. The corner by Andrey Karpovich was headed in by Renat Abdulin for the shock lead.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the second half, Van Persie missed a good chance, but it was substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar who broke the deadlock.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe headed in a cross by Afellay in the 61st minute. Although the Schalke 04 striker was in offside position the goal was allowed.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter a tackle by Baurzhan Dzholchiev on Afellay, the Kazakh received a red card and the visitors had to play the remainder of the match with 10 men.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nArjen Robben hit the cross bar from a free-kick as the Dutch kept on pushing.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfellay finally provided some respite to the team with a 82nd minute deflected strike that put the Dutcgh in front.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVan Persie went down in the penalty area and the Netherlands were awarded a penalty in the 89th minute. The Dutch forward converted this opportunity himself to make it 3-1.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn injury-time a goal by Robben was disallowed for offside.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter this narrow escape the Netherlands now have three points in Group A.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCzech Republic, who beat Turkey 2-1 in Istanbul, and Iceland, who defeated Latvia 3-0 in Riga, are both on six points.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe Netherlands meet Iceland in Reykjavik Monday while Kazakhstan welcome Czech Republic with Latvia hosting Turkey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
