The Netherlands struggled 84 minutes in Group A of the World Cup in Qatar to break through the doors of African champions Senegal and only ended the game in the ninth minute of stoppage time. Discerning people can see that Senegal is only one Mane away from scoring. If it weren't for Mr. Silverball's withdrawal from the World Cup due to injury, it would be hard to say whether this match would have been won or lost.
The Netherlands, who are good at all-attacking and all-defense football, trailed Senegal 10:15 in the number of shots on goal and had one shot on target 3:4. The goalkeeper made four saves as a result, while Senegal managed to save only once, resulting in a 2-0 loss. The Netherlands are only 6% higher in possession, giving them a slight advantage.
In the first half, De Jong had a chance to change the scoreline, but the Dutch midfielder's overly protracted handling of the ball allowed him to miss the opportunity. Had it not been for Van Dijk's crucial relief, Senegal might have taken the lead in the first half.
It wasn't until the 84th minute that De Jong made up for it with a brilliant diagonal pass, which was scored by Gakpo with a header before the goalkeeper.
In the 9th minute of extra time, goalkeeper Nopert found Depay at the front of the box, who had a shot that was saved, and Klaasen followed up to score 2-0, and the Netherlands finally killed the game.
The Dutch team is worth three times as much as Senegal, which should be a good reflection of the difference in strength between the two teams, but many Dutch fans said that they were not satisfied with the performance of the Dutch team in this process.
There was also an interesting on-field tidbit during the game. De Jong grabbed Cuyat's crotch with his hand during a scramble, causing the latter to leave the field injured. Lao Huang felt that the Senegalese team should protest the matter. After the VAR is confirmed, De Jong, who is the black hand, should be sent off. This is unsportsmanship. If that's the case, the Netherlands will probably have a hard time getting those three points. So it was a decisive miscalculation that affected the outcome of the game.
I look forward to the two teams playing better and better, and giving more wonderful games to the fans.
