The Netherlands will play their final World Cup group stage fixture tomorrow after their disappointing 1-1 draw with Ecuador on Friday. The Dutch side will take on hosts Qatar, who were knocked out of the tournament after successive defeats in their opening two matches.

The Netherlands have claimed four points so far and had looked on course to qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare, thanks to Cody Gakpo’s early opener against Ecuador, however Enner Valencia’s second-half equaliser has left them searching for another victory to confirm their place at the top of Group A.

Qatar became the first team to be knocked out of the World Cup and also the first hosts to be ever be eliminated after just two games when they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Senegal last week. Despite the loss, fans still had something to celebrate when Mohammed Muntari claimed their first goal in World Cup history.

Louis Van Gaal’s side will be confident of winning their final group clash, however a shock defeat could see them slip out of the qualifying spots if Ecuador and Senegal play out a draw. The winner of the group is likely to play one of England, Iran, USA or Wales in the round of 16.
