FT: Senegal 0-2 Netherlands
The average age of Senegal's starting XI was 28 years and 284 days, their oldest in any of their nine games at the World Cup, and more than two years older than their previous oldest (26y 224d against Colombia in 2018).

It was a match that teased a goal for long periods but both sides lacked ruthlessness.
Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal even risked the fitness of Memphis Depay to bring him on as a second-half substitute in the hope of finding a way through.
The risk paid off as the Netherlands secured a vital three points in a game many believe could decide the winners of Group A.
They now sit joint-top with Ecuador, who beat hosts Qatar 2-0 on Sunday.

It was about getting the job done, three points, winning the game. It was a tricky first game for Netherlands on paper, facing the African champions. Moment of brilliance from Frenkie de Jong with the pass, Cody Gakpo with the perfectly timed run.
I think Edouard Mendy shouldn't have come, he may not have saved it anyway but it made it easier for Gakpo. Then in added on time, they get another.
Again, I think Mendy should have done better, Davy Klassen with a comfortable finish on his left foot. Three points, the Dutch have started this World Cup in fine form.

Who thought Davy Klaassen would make history at this World Cup?
The former Everton player's 99th minute goal is the latest scored by the Dutch at the World Cup.
FT: Senegal 0-2 Netherlands
No Sadio Mane up front. Mistakes at the back. Senegal might be the champions of Africa but the Lions of Teranga have been well and truly tamed.

Classy from Klassen in the end. Senegal trying to throw bodies forward and that's what did for them.
Depay chops on the inside, on his left foot. It's quite a tame effort but Mendy just parries it into Klassen. Cool as you like. Job done for the 'Iron Tulip.'

Davy Klaassen
That's a shocker by Edouard Mendy.
The Senegal keeper fumbles a 99th minute attempt by Memphis Depay and Davy Klaassen is in the right place to sweep home his side's second.
A night to forget for Mendy and Senegal.

This hasn't been a classic. Far from it. But the Netherlands are moments away from getting the job done. Louis van Gaal will be delighted.

Senegal are frustrated. Idrissa Gueye and Nampalys Mendy are shown yellow cards in quick succession.

Cody Gakpo gets a standing ovation from the Dutch supporters inside the ground. He's replaced by Marten de Roon for the closing moments.

Sarr has shown some really good moments of brilliance. Noppert has not had much to do. Senegal have been more pussycats than lions. They've just lacked a bit of oomph. It's all slow and pedestrian.
Senegal 0-1 Netherlands
Senegal have attempted 360 passes in this game, their highest total in a single match in the World Cup since the start of last season.
It's a shame they have not tested the Dutch keeper enough.
Senegal 0-1 Netherlands
Aliou Cisse has not given up on this. The Senegal coach is animated on the sidelines as he barks instructions for his players. There's enough time for them to carve out at least one more good chance.

EIGHT minutes of added time! Where has all that come from?
