The first half ended 0-0. And Morocco will be kicking themselves for failing to capitalize on their chances.

Saibari missed a simple tap in at the back post after a curling free-kick from the right in added time.

Netherlands does not have many chances. The one shot that was on target was saved by Yassin Bonnou.

bad temper game

The story of the match is that there was a heated argument between both the sides. The game turned into some messy moments, after a clash between Dutch defender Van Hecke and Moroccan striker Saibari, with the referee failing to control the game.

There have been some ugly challenges, one of which resulted in Van Hecke bleeding profusely from the head, where the referee was forced to stop play.

Tremendous save by Verbruggen

Some close saves from goalkeeper VanBruggen kept the Netherlands alive. The best was when he lobbed the outside edge of Hakimi’s boot curler midway through the first half of the match.

The Netherlands have been left disappointed after failing to connect in the final third. Somerville has been better than the rest, but Brobbie and especially Gakpo need to do better.
