  • 5' It looks surprising Netherlands does not make any changes. Meshaal Barsham has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Qatar started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jurrien Timber is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Netherlands.
  • 25' Qatar fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 26' The Netherlands Cody Gakpo breaks the deadlock on 26 minutes. 1-0!
  • 27' Cody Gakpo has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 27 minutes.
  • 32' Boualem Khoukhi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 37' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 42' Both keepers have barely been tested. Netherlands and Qatar are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 62' 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.
  • 64' A change in the Qatar ranks — Hassan Al Haidos exits the field as Ali Assadalla enters on 64.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Ali Assadalla. He replaces Hassan Al Haidos on 65 minute.

  • 78' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 82' Netherlands ring the changes. Marten de Roon has done his job and it is now time for Teun Koopmeiners to step up.
  • 83' Netherlands make a change. Cody Gakpo trudges off to be replaced by Wout Weghorst on 83 minutes.
  • 85' A tactical swap from Qatar — Ahmed Alaaeldin on, Abdulaziz Hatem off on 85 minutes.
