The Bayern Munich star scored the opener and was quite influential throughout the match, which his side won 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals.

Robben, who has recently overcome a hamstring injury, has played as a starter for the first time since reaching full recovery.

He was taken off midway through the second period.

"Of course, it's really nice to play like this in my first start after my injury. You never know how things will go, but I am very satisfied with the way I've played overall," said Robben.

"It was a pretty difficult match for us. However, nobody will remember how we won this game.

"The only thing that counts is that we've won the match and that we progress to the next round. We have yet to show our real class.

"I guess we all expect to lock horns with Brazil in the quarter-finals. We have to improve if we are to record a good result against them.

"We have yet to play at our best and we're hopeful that we'll be in better form against Brazil or Chile."
