World Cup 2022 – Netherlands vs. USA 3: 1: First Denzel, then Washington | Sports

The first quarterfinalist has been determined!

Holland is through a 3-1 win over the USA in the World Cup quarterfinals!

First Denzel, then Washington!

No, not the US actor (67) Denzel Washington is the horror, but inter-professional Denzel Dumfries (26)!

Thanks to a perfect goal copy with two assists and a goal of his own, he sends the US team back to the capital Washington…

10. Minute: After many ball contacts in their own half, Holland decides to play forward. The US does not have access. Dumfries goes through on the right, puts it back to Depay, who slides inside the corner from 13 yards out.

20 passes before a goal – that’s a new World Cup record for Holland!

45.+1 Minute: Dumfries returns on the right edge of the box, Blind rushes in behind Dest and chases the ball low into the left corner from eleven yards.

Right-back Dumfries finally rewarded himself with a goal for his outstanding performance!

81. Minute: This time Oldie Blind gets the ball in the middle. At the far post, Dumfries is completely clear – and scores!

The team of national coach Berhalter doesn’t do badly at all. However, the callousness in front of the goal is missing. Right at the beginning there is a MEGA opportunity (3rd): After preparatory work by McKennie, Pulisic is completely free in front of the goal, but fails at Noppert. Everyone on the pitch believes it’s offside – but the game goes on! For the US, this must be the lead…

Only shortly before the end do the USA still score their goal!

76. Minute: Ex-Schalke player Haji Wright catches Pulisic’s low cross with his heel, the ball sinks in a high arc into the left corner. The Dutch are watching.

Just five minutes later, Dumfries put the ball in – and the USA’s hopes were destroyed.

Holland is unbeaten in 19 games. And the USA still hasn’t won a World Cup game in which they were behind (5 draws, 20 defeats).
