Netherlands vs. Qatar, Highlights World Cup 2022, Match #6 Group A

They only need a point to secure a berth into the next round. It's in the last 16 while upping the performance level. Yeah and van Gaal rolls out that same back line at de Jong up top. We've still got Cody Gakpo and Depay gets a start and then for Qatar Felix Sanchez. Now Matthijs De Ligt after a wobbly performance first time out and Virgil van Dijk going direct Memphis Depay in his first better versus Senegal. And oh here's Memphis Depay in a promising position. Klassen a bit of a scramble. Somehow they keep it out. Daley Blint was up there too and a scare for Qatar. And already a better start. It's his way through. Klassen good play. Blint and Gakpo right on the doorstep. Another chance for Blint maybe as it pinballs around inside the box. Blint and de Jong. So much goes through him and he might want to take on the shot. He fires it against his own man in Klassen and then Depay acrobatically. I will keep you abreast of developments in the other game in the group. Ecuador and Senegal and Depay is there to receive it. Lovely turn towards it though. There's Klassen and has started to float out. The Netherlands and that is how to do it. And Cody Gakpo once again makes a big statement at this World Cup. The Netherlands with the lead as they try to finish the group phase on a high. It's not what the Qataris wanted to see. But Gakpo makes it three from three matches for the Netherlands. Finish last. Maybe the wooden spoon but if Netherlands keeps playing balls like that. No, they've almost invited Qatar back into the game. But it's held by Knoppert. Up to that billing if you look at points. In terms of style hasn't always been eye-catching from the Dutch in this group. Here's Dumfries. Playing it back to Klassen and Depay. That was a fine stop but it does go over the line. Frankie de Jong has made it 2-0 to the Netherlands. And difficult to see the Dutch being denied top spot in the group now. And it's just so well done from a team standpoint. They're on this near side. And they pull out Qatar and create a pocket of space underneath. So that means they can now glide across the 18-yard box. And hit the opposite side. Then you get the far post ball. The far post service and it would be accustomed to seeing. He's played second fiddle in this tournament so far. So the precocious Cody Gakpo on the ball now. And that's a very tidy pass. And Jansen who's just come on and it has to be a goal. The two substitutes combining there. Berghuis getting into position for the Netherlands. And it's three. The one that comes into a lower position. Perhaps a handball. Well we'll see if if this is looked at and reviewed. But still just brings that one down. And he does stick out that on. Here we go. And no goal for Berghuis. England still. I think it's fair to say the big favorites to win that other group. So it could be England against Ecuador. Here's Dumfries for the Netherlands. And forced into urgent around. Now Qatar trying to get themselves onto the front foot. It's a low slithering shot. But going through in that order. And the winners of this group to face the runners-up in the USA England group. Now maybe a threat here from Qatar. But a very fine Iran. We look forward to that coming up later. Afif in there for Qatar. And that's going to be routine for Nopper. Grabbing hold of it. Piece of anticipation. By Hogy for Qatar. But Dumfries did well. Verhorst leading the line now. Oh and that. The Netherlands have dominated in every statistical category. There's Dumfries. And that's a good take. Credit where credit's due. Miners have taken up the deep position. The round of 16 here at the World Cup will take on an orange queue. Because the Netherlands have won the group.
