Netherlands vs Morocco LIVE SCORE: Morocco stunned Netherlands 3-2 on penalties after a dramatic 1-1 draw in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash, sealing a famous win after surviving 120 minutes in Monterrey. Cody Gakpo had given the Dutch the lead in the 72nd minute, but I. Diop struck in stoppage time to drag Morocco back from the brink. The shootout then turned chaotic: Teun Koopmeiners and Wout Weghorst scored for the Netherlands, but Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber and Crysencio Summerville failed from the spot. For Morocco, N. El Aynaoui and Achraf Hakimi missed, but Soufiane Rahimi, C. Talbi and I. Saibari converted to send the Atlas Lions into the Round of 16 and knock out the Dutch.

Netherlands vs Morocco LIVE SCORE: A knockout tie with real bite
Netherlands vs Morocco LIVE SCORE: This is exactly the kind of Round of 32 fixture that can turn on one moment.

The Dutch may start as favourites, but this is far from a comfortable knockout assignment.
