Netherlands beat Qatar 2-0 to finish perfect in Group A play: Live post-match analysis and reaction

Confirmation that Senegal have beaten Ecuador 2-1, which means that the Netherlands go through as group winners.

It feels like they've barely had to break sweat in this World Cup so far. They were not particularly impressive in their first two group games, when Louis van Gaal expected much more from his team with the ball, and a 2-0 win over Qatar is nothing to get excited about.

But Cody Gakpo, who scored in all three group games, gives the Netherlands a cutting edge up front, and the fact that they are now unbeaten in 18 games means they will have plenty of belief going into the knockout stage, where the runners up in Group B await.
