The Netherlands join Ecuador on top of Group A, with three points each after both nations won their opening games 2-0.

Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the 84th minute with a brave header at the end of a brilliantly timed run. On as a substitute, Davy Klaassen put the game beyond doubt deep in injury time by capitalising on an error from Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
