In Monterrey, Morocco and the Netherlands played a 1‑1 draw after extra time in the 2026 World Cup. Cody Gakpo gave the Netherlands a lead in the second half, and Issa Diop equalised for Morocco in stoppage time. Yassine Bounou saved Crysencio Summerville’s fifth penalty, and Ismael Saibari converted the decisive spot‑kick. The victory sends Morocco to face Canada in Houston on Saturday. The match included several chances, a save by Bart Verbruggen and a collision that left Jan Paul van Hecke with a bleeding head. Both teams created opportunities but were unable to convert most of their possession into goals.
