The Rundown: Netherlands vs USA

The United States’ poor defensive performances and attacking weaknesses stayed with them from that point on, and the Netherlands took full advantage. Overall, the United States created plenty of chances at different periods in the game, but only scored one, on a lucky bounce off the foot of replacement Haji Wright.
Player of the game: Denzel Dumfries
Dumfries was already the most significant player on the field before he scored the game-winning goal. Marking him, Antonee Robinson consistently struggled to contain him on the right flank, allowing him easy access to the goal or hazardous passing lanes for his teammates.
Robinson, who appeared to be exhausted by the time he was taken out in the 92nd minute, misread his movement, which left Dumfries wide open at the far post for his goal.
