The Orange, who returned to the World Cup after being absent in 2018, again almost managed to disappoint when their players barely found the frame in the first 45 minutes.
The ones who were a little more dangerous were the Senegalese, who won their two previous opening games in the World Cup, but this time they failed to be responsible for the first surprise of the World Cup.

As mentioned, in the first half, the nets did not move at all despite optical control by the Dutch.
Brahhaus and Blind did not find the frame - a fact that is not particularly surprising in light of the few opportunities on the part of the Orange team.
Even in the 45 minutes, not much changed on the grass at Al-Thumama Stadium in Doha, with Senegal actually closer to a surprise, but then came the 84th minute when de Jong's wonderful lift reached the head of Cody Gakpo, who scored the team's most important goal Netherlands.
9 minutes into the extra time, the Dutch doubled the score after Depay kicked and squeezed a save from Mendy, but Klaassen took advantage of the rebound on the way to 0:2 Orange.
