🟢 Qatar's World Cup ends in disaster as hosts are knocked out after just six days
But such optimism will have all but dissipated after what followed against an enthusiastic Ecuador.
There is not much Van Gaal can do about it. Other than Gakpo, and a half-fit Memphis Depay, his forward options are pitiful. With Depay again not fit enough to start, he was forced to play Steven Bergwijn, a winger, as his lone striker. Ecuador are always excellent value at a major tournament as their supporters, even at this World Cup when keeping costs down is tough, bring the life, vibrancy and colour needed to create a spectacle.
Ecuador must have forgotten what it was like to concede, given Gakpo’s effort was the first time they had been breached in 701 minutes, but it had a galvanising effect as from there on in there was only one team in the contest.
