Late goals give Dutch victory over Senegal

Two late goals from the Netherlands sealed a crucial victory in their World Cup opener against Senegal in Group A.

Gakpo whirled away in celebration in front of the Senegal fans behind the goal as the Dutch supporters, together in a sea of orange at the other end of the Al Thumama Stadium, rose to their feet. It was a match that teased a goal for long periods but both sides lacked ruthlessness. Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal even risked the fitness of Depay to bring him on as a second-half substitute in the hope of finding a way through.

Watford winger Ismaila Sarr had shone on the left for the African champions in the first half, while De Jong controlled the tempo and dictated play for the Netherlands.

darn. anymore leg or otherwise injuries and we're done for. Where's Mo? Please, let him take the knee. He'll need it.

Y’all late
