Cody Gakpo’s goal for the Netherlands: this was the 1-0 win over Senegal in the World Cup | VIDEO

The Netherlands team did not have the expected debut against Senegal, in Group A of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, but they did score the important goal that could lead to victory. Shortly after the end, Cody Gakpo managed to impose conditions in the aerial duel and decreed the partial 1-0 for the Dutch team.

The match on the pitch at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha was approaching 84 minutes and the ‘Tulips’ began an offensive advance down the left flank. Daley Blind had the ball and tried to combine with Memphis Depay, who quickly made a pass back, to Frenkie de Jong.

After controlling the ball, the midfielder moved to the right and sent a cross towards the penalty mark, observing Cody Gakpo’s diagonal. The talented PSV attacker rose and headed in, taking advantage of the poor start of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who arrived very late into the action.

The ball inflated the nets and the entire squad of the representative of the Netherlands was intertwined in a fraternal hug. The victory will give coach Louis van Gaal a different perspective, taking into account that on the next date he will have to collide with Ecuador.
