NEW DELHI: The Netherlands survived Ecuador onslaught to eke out a 1-1 draw in their second Group A match at the Khalifa International stadium to remain in contention for the Round of 16 spot. Ecuador too remained in the race but the result eliminated hosts Qatar from the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 on Friday.
Qatar became the first team to crash out of the tournament. The Dutch and Ecuador each have four points, Senegal have three. Qatar are without a point after they lost their opening game 0-2 to Ecuador and then went down 1-3 to Senegal earlier on Friday. They cannot qualify whatever happens in their final match against the Dutch on Tuesday.
