The Netherlands thought they had scored in the 16th minute \u2014 the flag went up immediately for offside. In the 20th minute, Achraf Hakimi struck a thunderous effort from distance that Bart Verbruggen clawed away with his fingertips after a corner sequence had created the chance.<\/p>\n<p>The clearest Dutch opportunity came in the 44th minute. Micky van de Ven cut loose from outside the box and launched a rocket toward the top corner. Yassine Bounou dived full-length and tipped it over. Brilliant goalkeeping from Morocco&#8217;s number one \u2014 a save that in hindsight kept his team in the tie. Hakimi curled a dangerous free kick into the six-yard box in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Saibari barely missing at the back post. The half ended goalless, but not without drama.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gakpos_Goal_and_Grief\"><\/span><b>Gakpo&#8217;s Goal and Grief<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/netherlands\/netherlands-squad\">Netherlands<\/a> found the opening goal in the 72nd minute through a moment of chaos and quality. Wout Weghorst, introduced from the bench six minutes earlier to add target-man physicality, won a flick-on that drew Moroccan centre-back Shadi Riad out of position. Crysencio Summerville burst into the vacated space, was tackled, and the ball broke loose. Cody Gakpo reacted first and smashed it into the bottom right corner. 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Gakpo dropped to his knees. What followed was not celebration in the usual sense \u2014 it was grief, publicly expressed on the biggest stage in football. Gakpo has been carrying the pain of losing an unborn child through this tournament, and the emotion in that moment was raw and real. The Monterrey Stadium fell briefly quiet before recognising what they were witnessing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/morocco\/morocco-squad\">Morocco<\/a> refused to accept it. Walid Regragui introduced Chemsdine Talbi in the 89th minute, a direct wide player with fresh legs and nothing to lose. In the first minute of stoppage time, Talbi swung a magnificent cross into the box and Issa Diop powered a dominant header into the top right corner. 1-1. The stadium erupted. Extra time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Watch every FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 knockout match live on ZEE 5 \u2014 the Round of 16 is coming.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Time_and_Verbruggens_Brilliance\"><\/span><b>Extra Time and Verbruggen&#8217;s Brilliance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thirty minutes of extra time produced the best save of the entire match. Soufiane Rahimi danced past two exhausted Dutch defenders to stand one-on-one with Verbruggen. The Dutch goalkeeper threw himself at the shot and blocked it at point-blank range with his knee and arm. Extraordinary. Saibari required treatment in the 118th minute after sustaining a facial cut but returned to play \u2014 and to the penalty spot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Tie_Breakers_Post_Saves_and_Saibari\"><\/span><b>The Tie Breakers: Post, Saves, and Saibari<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Teun Koopmeiners scored.

Hakimi struck the post. After four rounds, 2-2. Everything, somehow, still to play for.<\/p>\n<p>Summerville stepped up for the Netherlands needing to score to stay alive. Bounou held his ground, side-stepped right, and stuck out his left hand to block it away. Definitive. Match-winning. Then Saibari \u2014 legs tired, carrying the weight of a nation \u2014 sent Verbruggen the wrong way and buried it into the bottom left corner. Morocco 3-2.
