The goalscorer of the Netherlands: Gakpo defines and gets the 1-0 against Qatar in the World Cup | VIDEO

Cody Gakpo is going through a good run and in the World Cup. In his third starting game, the forward scored a goal again and this time established the 1-0 draw for the Netherlands vs. Qatar in the third day of group A. At the moment, the 23-year-old player has a total of three victories in the competition.

To close the pass to the round of 16, the coach Louis Van Gaal renewed the confidence of the base of footballers who offered him a good performance against Senegal and Ecuador. Then, among them, the winger who belongs to PSV Eindhoven appeared and who came to the tournament with nine goals and 12 assists in the local league.

Due to his proven influence on offense, Gakpo was picked up a few meters to be an alternative in the construction of the game. In fact, when first-time starter Memphis Depay left the home midfielders by the wayside, Cody was presented as an option for the Barcelona man to lean on.

And so it was: Depay played with the PSV player, who hit a heel to deliver Davy Klaassen. In turn, the Ajax midfielder returned his teammate first. To do this, Gakpo took advantage of the corridor to advance diagonally and shot over the near post of goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham and score 1-0.

For that goal, Gakpo becomes the first player from the Netherlands to score in every single World Cup group game, according to Mister Chip. Also, according to information from the Spaniard, there were no players who managed to celebrate in every first round match since 2014 with James Rodríguez and Lionel Messi.
