GOAL! Senegal 0-2 Netherlands (Klaasen, 90+9)
"Andries Noppert hasn't put a glove wrong on his Netherlands debut.
"Granted, Senegal haven't asked him to do too much, but he did just make a smart save down low to his left to preserve his side's lead with just minutes to go.
"Van Gaal's bold selection looks to be paying off."

Sky Sports' Ben Grounds:
"It's a great leap from Gakpo, but where is Edouard Mendy going there? He is slow from his line and was always then second best to reach the cross after the initial hesitancy."

Gakpo delivers!
Sky Sports' Peter Smith and Nick Wright analyse some of their favourite stars to keep an eye out for during the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Their one to watch for day two is PSV and Netherlands winger Cody Gakpo.

GOAL! Senegal 0-1 Netherlands (Gakpo, 84)
Finally we have a breakthrough! After 84 minutes of pretty turgid football, De Jong and Gakpo combine to give the Netherlands a priceless lead.
The Barcelona midfielder checks onto his right foot before swinging in a fantastic cross from the left that Gakpo just meets ahead of Mendy, guiding his header into the unguarded net.

Sky Sports' Joe Shread:
"Without wanting to sound presumptuous, England and Wales will like what they're seeing from the Netherlands and Senegal.
"The Home Nations will play a side from Group A - also including Ecuador and Qatar - if they make it to the last 16, and neither the Netherlands or Senegal have looked particularly threatening today."

“The Netherlands have been dire in this second half. Cannot seem to pass it and have almost given up on trying to pass it.”

82: Sarr directs a header from Jakobs' left-wing cross well over the bar and then desperately appeals for a penalty.
Ake was in close attendance but a spot-kick would have been very generous.

Sky Sports' Ben Grounds:
"Strange, strange goings-on today in the World Cup when it comes to substitution protocols. Kouyate was clearly not coming back on having left on a stretcher but Senegal weren't allowed to make the change.
"They very nearly scored themselves with 10 men, but you imagine it won't be long before there is controversy for a side conceding when down a man.
"It was the same in the England game earlier when Maguire went off. England were for some reason not allowed to make the change immediately as the fourth official had to sort the paperwork out on the touchline!"

73: SAVE! Good stop from Noppert!
Senegal work the ball down the left and pick out Gueye, who sets himself on the edge of the area before lashing an effort goalwards that Noppert does well to beat away.

"More than 65 minutes have been played between what we thought were the two best teams in Group A, and they've managed two shots on target between them - both from Senegal.
"This is likely to be Louis van Gaal's last stand in management - with Ronald Koeman replacing him after the tournament - but his Netherlands side look to be starting the World Cup in underwhelming fashion."

The 28-year-old scored just two goals in 31 Premier League games during a disastrous spell with Tottenham, but has rebuilt his career in Turkey, Mexico and now Belgium.

"Senegal are in a 4-3-3, with the workmanlike Premier League trio of Gueye, Mendy and Kouyate making up their midfield."
