Holland vs Algeriet

Algeria dealt the Netherlands a sobering send-off at De Kuip, as Anis Hadj Moussa curled a stunning left-footed strike into the top corner in the 85th minute to clinch a 0–1 win and spoil the Dutch farewell in Rotterdam. It was a night of Dutch dominance without reward. Donyell Malen rattled the post inside eight minutes, and a Tijjani Reijnders goal was ruled out for offside in the tenth. Algeria's goalkeeper Luca Zidane was outstanding, producing key saves to deny Cody Gakpo and Justin Kluivert. The Netherlands racked up an expected goals tally of 2.20, yet none found the net, until Hadj Moussa punished them on the break. For the Netherlands, the loss is a sharp reminder that World Cup squads must convert their chances. For Algeria, outfoxing one of Europe's top sides on home soil is a major confidence boost heading into the tournament.
