Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio BBVA. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Nathan Ake needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' Morocco started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' The 24-year-old Ryan Gravenberch has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' named a 5-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 25' Chadi Riad has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Netherlands are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 40' Netherlands are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Morocco backline.
- 45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 47' That looks like a foul for a card for Issa Diop.
- 52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
- 62' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 67' The travelling Morocco supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 71' The whistle greets Brian Brobbey as he departs to be replaced by Wout Weghorst.
- 72' GOAL! Cody Gakpo fires home to make it 1-0!
- 75' The Morocco manager makes a substitution. Chadi Riad departs to be replaced by Anass Salah-Eddine.
- 79' The crowd applauds Brahim Diaz as he leaves the pitch. Gessime Yassine steps in for Morocco.
- 84' It is a cagey affair so far. Netherlands in their 5-2-3 trying to find a way past Morocco's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 86' The supporters are chanting for Jorrel Hato. He replaces Mickey van de Ven on 86 minute.
- 3-4 the final result. Netherlands will be bitterly disappointed.
