Netherlands vs. Qatar live: World Cup score, highlights, result from 2022 Group A match

Total times read this article : 3

The Netherlands will be seeking a convincing victory by multiple goals against host nation Qatar in their Group A finale, as the Dutch target winning the group and thus secure what on paper should be a more favorable matchup in the Round of 16.

The Oranje are not yet mathematically qualified for the knockouts, but going into the final match they sit joint top of the group with Ecuador, ahead on the disciplinary points tiebreaker (fewest cards). The Group A winner would likely dodge a date with England in the Round of 16, instead landing the second-place team (USA, Iran or Wales barring any surprises).

No. 50-ranked Qatar, who are already eliminated after losing both matches thus far, are a mismatch against the No. 8-ranked Dutch team which is currently on a 17-match unbeaten streak. But Louis Van Gaal’s squad has not blown anyone away with their performances against Senegal and Ecuador, benefiting from timely goals, including two from breakout star Cody Gakpo.  

If the Netherlands beat Qatar, they would finish top of Group A provided Ecuador also fails to beat Senegal. But if the South American side also wins, they would finish level on points and the group tiebreakers come into play.

Netherlands vs. Qatar live updates, highlights from 2022 World Cup

2hrs 45 mins from kickoff: One thing the Netherlands supporters guarantee at every game is colour. One colour in particular. Can you guess which one?

2hrs 30 mins from kickoff: With a capacity of 68,895, Al Bayt Stadium has already played host to the opening match of the 2022 World Cup as well as some outstanding matches, including the 1-1 draw between Spain and Germany on Sunday.

It also hosted a dull goalless draw between England and the USA last week, but the less said about that the better!

2hrs 45 mins from kickoff: With temperatures expected to reach 29 degrees Celsius (84 Fahrenheit) at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor today, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated as they head to the game.

3hrs from kickoff: The Netherlands need a result to make sure of their place in the knockout stage, and they will have the backing of supporters of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, for whom their star players play domestic football.

3hrs 15 mins from kickoff: Cody Gakpo and Davy Klaassen are the only players to score for the Netherlands at this World Cup. Coach Louis van Goal will be hoping to see some firepower from their teammates against Qatar.

3hrs 30 mins from kickoff: Qatar striker Almoez Ali holds the distinct record of being the only player in history to score in three different continental competitions – the Copa America, the Asian Cup and the Gold Cup.

Could he also strike for the hosts during the World Cup before the hosts make their exit?

3hrs 45 mins from kickoff: Cody Gakpo has had a superb World Cup so far and former Netherlands international Ronald de Boer said he rates the 23-year-old PSV Eindhoven winger highly, both as a player and as a person.

Stopping Gakpo will not be easy for Qatar today.

4hrs from kickoff: Qatar head coach Felix Sanchez insisted his side’s return of zero points from their opening two games of the World Cup, which confirmed their elimination, has not dented the pride he has felt in guiding the nation at its first finals tournament.

4hrs 15 mins from kickoff: Having touches of the ball in the opposition box will be a good start today for Qatar, who are currently lagging behind Kylian Mbappe on that particular stat at the 2022 World Cup.

4hrs 30 mins from kickoff: Louis van Gaal was in typically honest mood in his pre-match press conference, saying: “I believe we don’t have the best players on earth in our team, but I believe in team building and in tactics. I believe we can go far, but we also need luck.”

4 hrs 45 mins from kickoff: Football-Oranje’s Michael Statham is joined by a Qatar football expert for a quality informed preview of the match.

5 hrs from kickoff: Dutch outlet Voetbal International points out how the Netherlands have already seen Tuesday’s referee, Bakary Gassama, in the 2014 group stage finale against Chile, where he earned favorable reviews.

Netherlands vs. Qatar lineups, team news

According to the Dutch press, midfielder Marten de Roon is expected to get a shot at partnering with Frenkie de Jong in midfield in lieu of his Atalanta teammate Teun Koopmeiners. In addition, after slowly increasing the load for Memphis Depay, he could get his first start ahead of Steven Bergwijn.

Netherlands (3-4-3, right to left): 23-Andries Noppert (GK) — 2-Jurrien Timber, 4-Virgil Van Dijk, 5-Nathan Ake — 22-Denzel Dumfries, 15-Marten de Roon, 21-Frenkie De Jong, 17-Daley Blind — 14-Davy Klaassen — 8-Cody Gakpo, 10-Memphis Depay

Qatar manager Felix Sanchez made three changes from the brutal opening match to the second contest against Senegal and the team had an improved performance despite losing and suffering elimination. There is little reason to believe there should be much tweaking done to that most recent lineup.

Qatar (5-3-2, right to left): 22-Meshaal Barsham (GK) — 2-Pedro Miguel, 17-Ismail Mohammad, 16-Boualem Khoukhi, 3-Abdelkarim Hassan, 14-Homam Ahmed — 10-Hassan Al-Haydos 12-Karim Boudiaf, 23-Assim Madibo — 19-Almoez Ali, 11-Akram Afif
