Fifa World Cup Qatar Day 6 Highlights
England vs USA
England vs USA
The England team looked totally off-colour and different from the one that beat Iran 6-2 in the first game of their World Cup campaign. Not to take the credit away from the USA, but England didn't look at their best. On the other hand, the young USA team were on their best display and came very close to scoring a goal as they hit 10 shots at goal, two more than England. With two draws in two games, the USA still need a win in their last game against Iran to go through to the next round.
The start was not right for Ecuador as they conceded in only the sixth minute. However, after that, the South Americans picked up the pace and went for the goal a lot.
It is evident from the fact that in the entire game, even after having only 45% possession, they had 15 shots on goal and four on target compared to the Netherlands only two shots on goal and just one on target.
Enner Valencia scored for Ecuador while Cody Gakpo did for the Dutch. This draws brings an important conclusion as the host nation Qatar are out of the World Cup after just 19 games.
Qatar vs Senegal
The Senegalese side has been helped by three of their best strikers in Bulayo Dia, Famara Diedhiou and Bamba Dieng as they beat hosts Qatar 3-1 to register their first win of the Fifa World Cup 2022.
While Dia scored in the first half, Diedhiou made it 2-0 at the start of the second half. Qatar tried to find their way back through Mohammed Muntari’s gaol in the 74th minute, but an 83rd-minute strike by Dieng closed all the doors for Qatar.
Having lost two games, Qatar’s hopes rest now on Ecuador beating both Netherlands and Senegal and then Qatar beating the Netherlands. But for Senegal, all they now need is a win against Ecuador in their last group game.
Wales vs Iran
In what was a thriller of a game early in the day, Iran scored twice in injury time as the Wales goalkeeper was handed a red card and the Welsh team played with only 10 men for the last 15 minutes. Both the goals came in the last 20 minutes only
