100' The Netherlands is showing clear signs of exhaustion; fatigue is starting to take its toll on their passing accuracy. The Dutch side is struggling to hold onto possession to catch a breath, and at the same time, they lack the sharpness needed to threaten the opponent's defense.

93' Physical endurance will be the deciding factor during this extra time. Both teams' ability to maintain their attacking rhythm will be put to the test, and given the accumulated fatigue, it is highly likely that this will be decided by a penalty shootout.

EXTRA TIME

90+1' An agonizing equalizer at the death! Barely into stoppage time (90'+1'), center-back Issa Diop played the hero. The defender surged forward to meet a cross from the wing and, with an unstoppable header, beat Verbruggen to bury the ball in the back of the net.

88' The clash between the two sides is featuring top-tier defensive plays. Van Dijk provided the latest one, stepping up in a moment where Saibari was looking to charge toward Verbruggen’s goal.

65’ The Netherlands are really struggling to generate any offensive rhythm. Koeman’s side looks sluggish on the ball, and although Summerville is trying to be the creative spark, he’s not having his best day: every time he looks to beat his man in a 1-on-1, he’s lacking that final bit of precision in his touch.

58’ Another warning from Morocco! The Oranje aren't finding their best form, and the Atlas Lions are turning up the pressure. El Khannouss tried his luck from outside the box with a shot that deflected off a Dutch defender, making the ball’s trajectory tricky for Verbruggen, who had to work hard to secure it.

53’ THE GOAL FRAME SHUDDERS! Achraf Hakimi misses the goal by mere centimeters. Ounahi delivered a deluxe pass that left him one-on-one with the keeper, and the fullback didn't hesitate to blast the ball, but his thunderous strike smashed directly against the crossbar. That was so close for Morocco!

HALF TIME

45'+3’ So close for Morocco! Saibari was inches away from connecting with a crucial ball inside the box. Despite stretching his leg as far as he could to get a shot off, the ball just eluded him. It was a golden opportunity to break the deadlock right before halftime.

40’ Concern for a Dutch player! He is currently receiving medical attention on the pitch. It seems he will be able to continue, but Ronald Koeman’s staff will need to apply a bandage to his head before he can rejoin the action.

36’ Achraf to the rescue! Following a dangerous turnover by Morocco during their build-up, Dumfries tried to thread a pass to Gakpo at the edge of the box. However, the Moroccan fullback read the play perfectly and made a sliding interception to prevent the ball from reaching the Dutch forward.

22:00 Cooling Break

21’ VERBRUGGEN IS A WALL! Morocco is stepping on the gas and besieging the Dutch goal. Achraf Hakimi fired a powerful strike from outside the box that was headed for the top corner, but a heroic hand from the keeper flew in to deny the goal. The Oranje goalkeeper is the hero of the match so far.

20’ MIRACLE IN THE BOX! WHAT A SAVE BY VERBRUGGEN! Morocco executed a perfect corner kick to the near post, where El Azzouzi appeared to connect with a lethal header. The ball was heading straight for the net, but the Dutch goalkeeper showed feline reflexes to keep it out. The deadlock remains!

16’ Warning from the Netherlands! Gravenberch delivered a pinpoint long ball for Summerville, who made a rapid run into space. The winger tried to set up Brobbey inside the box, but the pass fell short. Regardless, the play was ruled out for offside against Summerville.

8’ Trouble on the pitch! The referee has halted play following a heated confrontation between van Hecke and Saibari. The Dutch defender took a boot to the head from the Moroccan player, leading to a tense exchange between the two. Tensions are running high!
