Netherlands seal top spot with win

NEW DELHI:

Tuesday rounded it off with a goal from his right foot in the 26th minute against Qatar. He clearly is the complete package and if you hadn’t paid too much attention to him earlier, you will be doing that now.

The 23-year-old already has 13 goals and 17 assists for PSV Eindhoven in all competitions this season and has been heavily linked with a possible move to a top European club, most notably Manchester United.

A little later in the match, Frenkie de Jong pounced on the rebound after Memphis Depay’s shot at the Qatar goal was kept out by the keeper. De Jong was the fastest to react to the loose ball and got just ahead of the Qatari defender to tap in.

The Dutch had the ball in the net once more after substitutes Steven Berghuis and Vincent Janssen combined but the former’s strike was ruled out after a VAR consultation showed that there was a Gakpo handball in the build-up.

The winners of Group A will face the Group B runners-up in the last 16, while the secondplaced team will take on the other group’s winners.
