After Haji Wright's goal (76'), the Americans, with Dortmund's Giovanni Reyna coming on after the break, made a short run in front of 44,846 spectators in Al-Rajjan, but were unable to equalise. Denzel Dumfries (81'), who prepared Elftal's first two goals, decided the game.
Matthijs de Ligt, who does not yet play a role in this World Cup, came on for Nathan Aké in the third minute of injury time. The Munich central defender made a thoughtful impression. In the quarter-finals on Friday (8 p.m. CET), the Netherlands will meet the winners of the Argentina-Australia game.

: Simons for goalscorer Depay.
Dumfries makes the decision: the Netherlands immediately counter the USA's goal
81 minutes: Goooooorrrr!!! Netherlands 3-1 USA, scorer: Dumfries (81'). The decision! Very likely at least. The Americans are in the power play for their own sixteen. De Jong sees Blind on the left, who has plenty of time to cross. He shifts the ball to the right where Dumfries runs in and pushes the ball past the line.
76 minutes: Goooooorrrr!!! Netherlands 2-1 USA, scorer: Wright. What a dream goal! The US is stepping up the pressure. Pulisic pushes towards the goal from the right. The ex-Dortmunder plays the ball flat across to Wright, who artistically slides the ball over his instep. The ball literally sails over Noppert like an arc lamp. A completely strange goal that gives the Americans hope again.
75 minutes: There it is, the United States' chance to catch up.
Wright circles around Noppert, but is pushed too far.
He pushes the ball to the first post where Dumfries clears.
72 minutes: The huge chance for the Netherlands!
Goalie Turner bounces a long shot forward, but then fends off a diving header from Depay in the follow-up.
The "Dutch" continue to miss the punch.
The game is not decided yet.
71 minutes: The United States is visibly losing confidence that they can still turn this game around.
On the other hand, van Dijk doesn't put a header on target.
67 minutes: USA make a double change:
Aaronson replaces McKennie, Wright comes on for Weah.
Depay forgives the decision: Netherlands miss the punch against USA
61 minutes: Good opportunity for the Netherlands!
The outstanding Depay flicks the ball onto the box.
The ball sinks treacherously, Turner can just stroke it over the crossbar.
53 minutes: McKennie with the degree.
Pulisic marches to the left and puts the ball back.
But this shot from around 20 meters goes well over it.
50 minutes: Almost the decision!
Again a ball comes sharply from the right in front of the American goal.
Zimmermann is ahead of Depay on the ball this time, but deflects it towards his own goal from a very short distance.
Turner can parry with a quick reflex.

49 minutes: Huge chance for the USA!
After a corner, McKennie extends the ball with a head.
Ream runs in and pokes the ball past goalie Noppert.
But a Dutchman can clarify on the line.
46 minutes: The Netherlands make a double change:
Bergwijn comes on for de Roon and T. Koopmeiners for Klaassen.
46 minutes: Change in the USA:
Dortmund's Reyna comes on for Ferreira who has no chance.

45 minutes + 2: Break in Qatar! The Netherlands are well on their way to the quarter-finals.
45th minute + 1: Goooooorrrr!!! Netherlands 2-0 USA, Goalscorer: Blind. Is that still the preliminary decision before the break? Drowsy is what Americans offer on their defense. After a throw-in, Klaassen can easily push through to the baseline for Dumfries. Inter Milan's right winger plays sharply behind the defense again. That's enough. This time Blind crosses into the pass and puts the ball in flat on the bottom left.
45 minutes: The Netherlands counterattack.
Gakpo is sent to the right, ignites the turbo.
He plays the ball inside, where Depay comes rushing.
But the pass is inaccurate.
The Netherlands miss an early preliminary decision.
40 minutes: The Americans play weak.
I have to say that honestly.
You can't think of anything in front of you.
The Dutch have so far left this passivity unused.
Instead, the "Dutchmen" are compact in their own half.
36 minutes: Now an attack by the Americans.
Forward Ferreira is not in the game at all.
No allusion gets to him.
It's just too harmless.
In addition, the US boys make too many technical mistakes.
Everything speaks for the Netherlands here.
32 minutes: Dumfries puts a lot of pressure on the right.
The Americans, on the other hand, can't get their left flank closed at all.
So far, however, the Netherlands have failed to catch up.

21st Minute: Again the Netherlands come in front of the goal of the Americans.
This time they try a simple variant.
Vain.
But: The "Elftal" is really good in the game.
15 minutes: The Netherlands are now playing very safely and calmly.
The US is looking for structure and a line.

Netherlands take the lead: Depay scores against USA
10 minutes: Goooooorrrr!!! Netherlands 1-0 USA, scorer: Depay. Excellent attack by the "Dutchmen"! They're shifting the game to the American half at a lot of pace. Dumfries marches right, is sent towards the baseline. He plays behind the defense at just the right moment to Depay, who maneuvers the ball into the far corner with the inside.
6 minutes: The Americans try long balls and keep looking for Pulisic on the left.
The Netherlands struggled in the early minutes.
3 minutes: Huge chance for the USA!
Netherlands' offside trap fails to snap because Blind picks it up.
After a billiard ball, Pulisic is suddenly free in front of Noppert, who parries splendidly.
