The best opportunities in the first half fell to Frankie de Jong and Daley Blind. But both of them failed to score.

On his World Cup debut, Cody Gakpo broke the curse with the help of Barcelona midfielder Frankie de Jong. Senegal’s hope of finding an equalizer was dashed by Ajax’s Davy Klaassen’s last minute goal.
The Netherlands’ performance was below expectations. In any case, the three points are a good start to their World Cup campaign.
As of the end of the first two matches of the group stage, Netherlands and Ecuador lead Group A with six points, followed by Senegal and Qatar.
Goals in the second half:
Cody Gakpo (84′)
Davy Klaassen (90+9′)
