FULL-TIME: NETHERLANDS 2-0 QATAR
Louis van Gaal's side cruise into the last-16 and top Group A courtesy of a straightforward victory over the hosts.
Qatar crash out of the competition without a single point.
OFF THE BAR!
So close to a third! Berghuis rattles the crossbar with a curling effort. The substitute is desperate to get on the scoresheet.
SIX MINUTES ADDED ON
No need for that!
WELL, WELL WIDE
Less said about that the better, from Miguel. He drags it horribly wide from 35 yards out. Sums up Qatar's tournament, really.
NETHERLANDS SUB
And another change. Taylor comes on for Van Gaal's side.

CHANCE FOR QATAR
Muntari gets in behind the Netherlands' defence down the left and delivers a cross. It's too close to the goalkeeper and Noppert keeps it out with his feet.
INTO THE FINAL 10 MINUTES
Can Qatar give their fans something to cheer?

SENEGAL RETAKE THE LEAD!
Dramatic scenes as Senegal retake the lead almost immediately after Ecuador had equalised.
It's now 2-1, and, as it stands (!), it's Senegal are going through again!
NEARLY A THIRD!
Dumfries tries his luck from a tight angle but Barsham does well to make the save at his near post.
AS IT STANDS...

2: Ecuador - 5 pts

ECUADOR ARE LEVEL!
A huge moment in the other Group A game as Ecuador have just levelled against Senegal. It is now 1-1 meaning Ecuador are going through, as it stands!
GOAL DISALLOWED!
Berghuis taps the ball into an empty net following some slack Qatar defending. But after an age it's ruled out for a Gakpo handball in the build-up, some 30 seconds before the goal was scored.
DOUBLE NETHERLANDS SUB
Klaassen and Depay make way for Berghuis and Janssen.

QATAR ARE PREPARING SUBS
Three, I think.
FRUSTRATION
Qatar boss Sanchez throws his water bottle down in frustration after another attack collapses without threatening the Netherlands' goal.
He must have expected more from his side during the tournament.
