Today in a group B match of the Qatar2022 world cup soccer tournament, Senegal fell to a late defeat against the Netherlands, with Edouard Mendy at fault for both.
Cody Gakpo put Netherlands ahead late after it looked set for a draw as Mendy ran to collect a cross before seeing Gakpo beat him to the ball and head in.
Davy Klassen added a second off a shot straight to the midfielder who fired in to seal the three points.
The Netherlands sealed this major 2-0 victory over Senegal at the Al Thumama Stadium.
Holland struggled throughout the encounter and the African champions created some promising opportunities.
But a moment of confusion between Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and his defenders allowed Cody Gakpo to open the scoring on 84 minutes with a header after Frenkie De Jong’s pinpoint cross.
Another error by Mendy, who failed to hold on to Memphis Depay’s effort saw Davy Klaassen getting the rebound and hitting the back of the net in the 10th minute of stoppage time.
