    You have to say, Senegal have been the better side.

    Ecuador 1-2 Senegal

    Ecuador continue to press. Another cross comes in from the left but Piero Hincapie can't get a foot to Jackson Porozo's flick on. Senegal survive.

    Edouard Mendy palms that away at the back stick. Desperate defence here from Senegal.

    Another Ecuador attack. Their goalkeeper Hernan Galindez is covering his eyes as they win a corner.

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    All over!

    A comfortable win for the Netherlands that secures top spot in Group A. All eyes now are on who joins them in progressing.

    Qatar, meanwhile, make unwanted history as they become the first host nation to exit the tournament losing all of their group games.

    It's more and more desperate now from Ecuador. Long balls. They just need to keep their composure and create one more opening maybe.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    Almost a peach of a goal by Steven Berghuis, who bends a superb strike that has the goalkeeper beaten but the ball bounces back off the bar.

    VAR and the woodwork have denied the substitute. It is not to be his day.

    Ecuador 1-2 Senegal

    A little bit more route one from Ecuador but Kalidou Koulibaly is on hand to blast the ball clear for Senegal.

    Ecuador, other than the goal, have not had a lot to show in this second half.

    Hmmm, read the room, referee. I don't think anyone in the stadium wants to hang about too long with the Netherlands' win in no doubt but there's six minutes of time added on.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Ecuador 1-2 Senegal

    Angelo Preciado is coming off for Jackson Porozo. A right-back for a centre-half.

    Some added aerial threat, a change of tactics, or both?

    I’m sat in a bar in Amsterdam. How can I politely ask them to change the channel to the Ecuador v Senegal game?

    I think Senegal have just got more energy, they've got more to give. Enner Valencia hasn't got much more left in the tank.

    Enner Valencia is on the deck and the Ecuador skipper doesn't look happy after being blocked off by Abdou Diallo. No free-kick given though.

    Dia with a really good turn which wasn't matched by the finish.
