Party at Orange. The Netherlands is the first quarter-finalist at the World Cup after a convincing performance against the US. Especially the opening goal in the 3-1 win was wonderful. Denzel Dumfries was crowned the unexpected key figure with two assists and the redeeming goal. Will Messi’s Argentina wait for Louis van Gaal and co?

Netherlands – United States in a nutshell

  • Key moment: After a few minutes, Pulisic collides with Noppert from close by. An American lead could have given this game a completely different look and forced the Dutch to show a completely different face.
  • Man of the Match: With two assists and the liberating 3-1, Denzel Dumfries cannot be overlooked. The right back was therefore involved in three goals in a World Cup match, and only Johan Cruijff and Rob Rensenbrink did that for him in the Netherlands. No bad company.
  • Remarkable: Louis van Gaal is still unbeaten in eleven World Cup games as a coach, if we exclude penalty shootouts. The longest streak without defeat belongs to Felipe Scolari. He only lost in his thirteenth match with Brazil, the infamous 7-1 against Germany.

The Netherlands instills fear in the USA

The United States had impressed in the group stage with their energetic football and also started fiercely against a somewhat sleepy Netherlands. Pulisic appeared early in front of Noppert, who unpacked with a nice leg sweep.

The Dutch answered in the tenth minute with a wonderfully played goal. Gakpo sent Dumfries away and he offered Memphis the 1-0. Immediately the lock clicked. Like a boa constrictor, the Netherlands squeezed all the life out of the match. The Americans did not dare to press hard, for fear of being hurt.

Weah breathed life into a comatose first half at the end with a hard bang on Noppert. However, it was again on the other side that the goal fell. Dumfries delivered a copy of his assist for the 1-0. This time Blind was allowed to finish.

Dumfries secures Orange qualification

The second half started with an American offensive. Ream was unlucky that the ball landed on his knee, Pulisic aimed tamely at Noppert and McKennie fired over. In between, Zimmerman almost outwitted his goalkeeper.

Gradually, the Netherlands regained total control over the match. “A masterclass in result football”, Stef Wijnants called the clinical performance of Orange. But in football you always have to expect the unexpected. For example, the very limited substitute Wright made it 2-1 over Noppert with an unintentionally brilliant ball touch. The Americans suddenly burst with energy again.

Fortunately for our northern neighbours, Dumfries was still there. Completely forgotten at the far post, he completely removed the doubt with the 3-1. The Netherlands was no longer in trouble and will face the winner of Argentina-Australia in the quarterfinals.
