Netherlands into quarterfinals of World Cup 2022
One goal, two assists and one save on the goal line, right-back Dumfries deserves to be the hero of the Netherlands. Louis van Gaal's army only kept the ball 42% of the time, less than half of the opponent's points, but they were the next team, not the US.
The Netherlands led 2-0 after the first half thanks to two goals according to a scenario, that was Dumfries rising to the right, passing into the penalty area to fix the back of the American defense so that the second-line player put his heart in the far corner. The US regained a goal thanks to Haji Wright's improvised kick in the 76th minute, but only five minutes later Dumfries sealed the victory for the Netherlands.
