    An absolutely chaotic few minutes in Group A - this is how the table looks as things stand.

    Netherlands and Senegal progressing to the knock-outs with just over 15 minutes to play.

    A few noises in the pressbox, looked around to see what was happening and someone has a feed of the Ecuador-Senegal match on.

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    Denzel Dumfries' deflected shot is pushed behind by Meshaal Barsham. The corner comes to nothing.

    Just over 15 minutes to go here and there's not much to be excited about with this game. All eyes are on who is finishing second.

    GOAL - Ecuador 1-2 Senegalpublished at 16:32 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Kalidou Koulibaly

    Would you believe it? Senegal's skipper comes up trumps just when they need him.

    It's poor from Ecuador though, who can't deal with Idrissa Gueye's free-kick from the right.

    By the looks of it Piero Hincapie gets in Enner Valencia's way as they try to clear with the ball falling straight into the path of Koulibaly, who finishes from close range.

    Ecuador 1-1 Senegal

    Senegal have kept one clean sheet in all of their 10 previous World Cup matches, which was a 1-0 against France (2002), in their first World Cup game.

    Moises Caicedo

    Huge moment for the Brighton midfielder and Ecuador.

    And it's so simple. A corner is flung in from the right and flicked on and Caicedo has a tap in at the back stick with an Ecuador defender stood on the near post playing him on.

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

    Idrissa Gueye clatters into Gonzalo Plata. That's going to be a booking.

    He'll be out of Senegal's next match if they progress.

    It's been a bit disjointed in this second half and Van Gaal has made a couple of substitutions for the Netherlands.

  9. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    And the referee, after checking the pitch side monitor, correctly rules the goal out.

    Cody Gakpo had handled the ball as he controlled it before laying it off in the build up to the strike.

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

    Ecuador have had 76.7% possession over the opening 15 minutes of the second half.

    However they have still only had one shot on target all match.

    Netherlands 3-0 Qatar

    I think this will get ruled out. It looks like Cody Gakpo handled in the build up.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

    Djorkaeff Reasco comes on for Michael Estrada for Ecuador. His father Neicer Reasco played against England at the 2006 tournament.

    Steven Berghuis

    And the subs immediately combine!

    Steven Berghuis rolls the ball in from Vincent Janssen. Far too simple, but wait, there's a VAR check for a handball in the build up.

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    Netherlands also make a double change as Davy Klaassen is replaced by Steven Berghuis while Vincent Janssen is on for Memphis Depay, who didn't look completely fit to me.

    Josh Hammond: Daley Blind is a machine. The guy has been up and down the pitch and seems to be involved in everything.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Netherlands 2-0 Qatar

    Qatar make a change to try and find a way to get their second goal of the tournament.

    Off goes Hassan Al-Haydos and Almoez Ali and on come Ali Asad and Mohammed Muntari, who scored Qatar's historic first goal at this World Cup.

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

    Good feet from Sheffield United's Iliman Ndiaye as he pirouettes away from a Ecuador defender. But Ismaila Sarr is offside as he collects the through ball.

    David Trenholm: So in the next round it's looking to be most probably England v Senegal. Not a bad draw. Group A teams haven't really shown anything to be afraid of.

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

    Better from Ecuador. They work the ball through midfield out to the left where Pervis Estupinan takes a touch and crosses for Michael Estrada to head wide.

    Not an easy chance that.
