CAPE TOWN: Playmaker Wesley Sneijder inspired Netherlands to a 3-2 win over Uruguay on Tuesday that sent them back to the World Cup final after a 32-year wait.

Sneijder, scorer of both goals in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Brazil, was on target in the 70th minute to put the Dutch 2-1 ahead before Arjen Robben got a third three minutes later.
