Manchester United targets Cody Gakpo and Frenkie de Jong combine to help NED beat SEN in their FIFAWorldCup opener
Cody Gakpo struck late for the Netherlands in their 2-0 win over Senegal at the World Cup.
The Dutch were given a tough test against their African opponents in the Group A tie, but were soon able to find the all important first goal in the 84th minute of the match.As the game approached the final stages, Frenkie de Jong sent a teasing ball into the area towards the head of Gakpo, who nodded past the oncoming goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
It was the Netherlands’ first shot on target all evening and the Manchester United transfer targets, who were both linked with moves to Old Trafford in the summer, were the ones to provide the breakthrough. Davy Klaassen then made the most of Mendy’s parried shot inside the area to make it 2-0 in second half stoppage time to ensure the Dutch go joint top of Group A with Ecuador.
