  • 0' The game is set. Netherlands kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Netherlands started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' It looks surprising Qatar does not make any changes. Frenkie de Jong has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Meshaal Barsham has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Almoez Ali is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Qatar tonight.
  • 26' Cody Gakpo does the damage! The net is bulging and Netherlands surge ahead!
  • 27' Brilliant from the ! Cody Gakpo makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 27.
  • 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 37' Both keepers have barely been tested. Netherlands and Qatar are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 42' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Netherlands and Qatar are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Akram Afif made 9 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 49' A stunning finish from Frenkie de Jong — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 50' Magnificent from Frenkie de Jong! That is 20 goals in 487 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 52' The referee calls foul for Nathan Ake. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 57' Qatar are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 62' Daley Blind has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 487 appearances.
  • 64' The Qatar bench stirs into life. Hassan Al Haidos is withdrawn and Ali Assadalla gets his opportunity.
  • 65' Another change for Qatar made on 65 minute. Hassan Al Haidos leaves to be changed by Ali Assadalla.
  • 66' The crowd applauds Davy Klaassen as he leaves the pitch. Steven Berghuis steps in for Netherlands.
  • 68' What a strike from Steven Berghuis! The score is 5-0.
  • 73' The home supporters are growing impatient. Netherlands must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 78' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 82' Netherlands make a change. Marten de Roon trudges off to be replaced by Teun Koopmeiners on 82 minutes.
  • 83' Another substitution for Netherlands to replace Cody Gakpo by Wout Weghorst on 83 minute.
  • 85' The Qatar manager makes a substitution. Abdulaziz Hatem departs to be replaced by Ahmed Alaaeldin.
  • 86' Kenneth Taylor gets the nod from Netherlands. He replaces Frenkie de Jong and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
