Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Al Bayt Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 10' Netherlands seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' Pedro Miguel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Boualem Khoukhi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Netherlands side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 26' Against the run of play, Cody Gakpo has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 27' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Cody Gakpo makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 32' With 0 assists to his name this season, Akram Afif is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Qatar.
  • 37' Qatar are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Assim Madibo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 49' The deadlock is broken! Frenkie de Jong gets on the scoresheet on 49 minutes.
  • 50' Frenkie de Jong adds to his 0 season tally! Netherlands lead 4-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 52' A moment of madness from Nathan Ake on 52 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Netherlands will be frustrated.
  • 57' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 62' Qatar are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 64' The Qatar bench stirs into life. Hassan Al Haidos is withdrawn and Ali Assadalla gets his opportunity.
  • 65' Qatar make a change. Hassan Al Haidos trudges off to be replaced by Ali Assadalla on 65 minutes.
  • 66' Netherlands ring the changes. Davy Klaassen has done his job and it is now time for Steven Berghuis to step up.
  • 68' Magnificent from Steven Berghuis! That is 85 goals in 322 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 73' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Qatar that had 9 games and scored 7 goals.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Teun Koopmeiners. He replaces Marten de Roon on 82 minute.
  • 83' Cody Gakpo makes way for Wout Weghorst at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Netherlands.
  • 85' A tactical swap from Qatar — Ahmed Alaaeldin on, Abdulaziz Hatem off on 85 minutes.
  • 86' Another change for Netherlands made on 86 minute. Frenkie de Jong leaves to be changed by Kenneth Taylor.
  • The final score is 2-0.
