We will have long wait. In a unbridled match, it will finally have to wait until the last minutes for the display panel to end up evolving.
On a superb center of Jong Frenkie, Cody Gakpo was able to distort company to the Senegalese defense and be ahead of Edouard Mendy, out of the Dutchman to open the scoring (1-0, 84 e minute). A quarter of an hour later, after additional time, Davy Klaassen took advantage of a ball badly pushed by the same Mendy to send the ball, again, at the bottom of the nets and bring the score to 2 to 0 (98 E
é> minute).
A final score, but which does not really reflect the physiognomy of this first shock of the 2022 World Cup. After two completely unbalanced games (between the easy victory of the Ecuador and that of England), the Two teams went blow for the first period, without ever pushing the guards to intervene.
From the start of the game, a center back from Gakpo failed to surprise the Senegalese defense, but his teammates were too short to push the ball to the bottom of the nets (0-0, 4 e ). Less than five minutes later, on a center from the right, Pape Abou Cissé was also a little late to open the scoring. 2>
Mendy cracks, not noppert
After a superb occasion spoiled by a dribbling too much (19 e ), Frenkie de Jong missed his recovery and offered a new ammunition to the Senegalese, completed on a Diatta strike, too crushed ( 29 e ). Meanwhile, Virgil Van Dijk had pushed a powerful strike from Ismaïla Sarr, who had opened the goal after a nice dribble on the right side (25 e ). A last attempt by Steven Berghuis (40 e concluded a first period removed, but aimlessly.
After an attempt on both sides, two injuries penalized the Senegalese: Abdou Diallo, then Cheikhou Kouyaté (on a stretcher) had to leave their teammates, symbol of a World Cup, placed in the middle of the season, which weighs On organizations.
But while the Senegalese stumbled on Andries Noppert – the doorman of the Oranje, who knew how to illustrate in front of Dia (65 e ) and Gueye (73 e ) – The Dutch people ended up deceiving Edouard Mendy twice at the end of the game, while we were heading for the first draw of this tournament.
This success allows them to join the Ecuador at the head of this group A and take a big step towards qualification. They will also find the Equatorians on Friday (5 p.m.). For their part, the Senegalese no longer really have the right to make mistakes and will have to catch up against Qataris hosts (Friday at 2 p.m.).
