Netherlands failed to boot. After achieving a close victory over Senegal thanks to a ‘deli’ of frankie dejong, the ‘Oranje’ choked against Ecuador (1-1) on the second day and left his pass in the round of 16 for last. La Tri upset Louis Van Gaal’s group and showed that they are ready to fight anyone in this World Cup in Qatar, while the positive thing for the tulips is that they played in the qualifying against the hosts Qatar, one of the weakest teams in this event.

The final victory over Teranga Lions in his World Cup debut he managed to camouflage the bitter feelings of Netherlands in his presentation. The Dutch team lacks football and bite, a mistake they tried to correct against Ecuador with their unexpected stiletto, Cody Gakpo.
Gakpo repeated
The PSV forward continues to inspire in front of goal. the 12 goals and 14 assists in 19 games that he was between the Eredivisie and the Europa League earned him a call from Van Gaal and in Qatar he led a dull ‘Oranje’. already scored the goal that decided the match against Senegal and repeated against Ecuador by piercing the Tri goal with an unattractive left foot (6′).
His goal brought calm to the game Netherlandsinspired when the ball moves and has a dummfries come willingly Dejong to break the lines by their conductions.
Ecuador won the match and he showed it by adjusting his defensive mechanisms so that the Barcelona midfielder could not take advantage of his qualities. Every time he tried to start, in his way he found the obstacles of the Ecuadorians.
Enner Valencia is still sweet
Off Frankie, it was easier for Ecuador to take the game to their place. The stabs of Pervis Estupinán on the left wing they make a dent in an ‘Oranje’ fading away. The former Villarreal winger even managed to equalize on the stroke of halftime, deflecting a shot from Preciado that sent Dutch goalkeeper Noppert astray, however. VAR disallowed the goal due to a positional offside by Porozo.
I don’t feel comfortable in the Netherlands, who ignored the warning and allowed himself to be bitten by Ecuador. A defeat in a construction zone ended when the ‘pichichi’ of this World Cup found the goal again. Estupiñán tested Noppert’s reflexes, managing to save his low shot but not the subsequent shot from Enner Valencia on the rebound (49′). The forward scored three of Tri’s goals at Brazil 2014 and at this World Cup he has three more, although he later had to retire injured on a stretcher with problems with his right knee.
Even in the draw he had no reaction the ‘Orange’that adrift at the final whistle and he had great support in the posts when they turned away Gonzalo Plata’s shot that could have changed the tide of the match.
Despite the feeling Netherlands are in a good position to secure a pass to the round of 16 on the final day against Qatar, while Ecuador they must at least draw against Senegal to confirm their classification.
