Netherlands vs Qatar LIVE!
The Dutch booked their spot in the World Cup last 16 thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Frenkie de Jong, which saw off a poor – and pointless – Qatar side at Al Bayt Stadium. The host nation finish their home tournament with three defeats – and they barely laid a glove on Louis van Gaal’s side today.
After a couple of early near misses for the Netherlands, Gakpo – who is attracting transfer interest from Manchester United and others – was gifted too much space on the edge of the Qatar box and duly drilled home to make it 1-0. De Jong then doubled the lead when he followed up a decent save from goalkeeper Barsham to keep out Memphis Depay.
And that was enough for the Dutch to seal top spot in Group A and a place in the knockout rounds. And you can see how the game unfolded on Standard Sport’s live blog below.
