The knockout matches started in the Football World Cup today. In the first pre-quarterfinal, the Netherlands defeated the United States 3–1. With this win, the Netherlands reached the quarterfinals. There they will compete with Argentina or Australia. The Netherlands team reached the quarter-finals after 2014. They could not qualify in 2018. They have reached the last 8 for the seventh time.
The American team’s dream of reaching the last-8 after 2002 was shattered. Memphis Depay scored the first goal in the Netherlands match. He gave the team the lead in the 10th minute itself. He was followed by Daley Blind’s goal just before half time to put the team ahead 2–0. In the 76th minute, Haji Wright scored for the United States, but five minutes later, Denzel Dumfries increased the Netherlands lead to 3–1.
The American team performed brilliantly in the match, but its players could not score goals. The US made 17 attempts on goal. Of these, eight remained on target. The US team was also ahead in passing, passing accuracy, and possession, but the result of the match was not in their favor. American players made 569 passes. Whereas, the Netherlands made 415. America’s passing accuracy was 82 percent and Netherlands’ 76 percent. America had 59 and the Netherlands had 41 percent ball possession.
