Frenkie De Jong, Memphis Depay involved in both goals as Netherlands beat Senegal in World Cup opener

The first two Barcelona players in action in the 2022 World Cup made a winning start to the tournament as the Netherlands beat Senegal 2-0 in the second game of Group B in Doha, thanks in large part to Frenkie De Jong who played a beautiful assist for Cody Gakpo who scored a late opener to give the Oranje three big points. Memphis Depay came on in the second half for the final 30 minutes and was involved in the second goal deep in added time, and Louis Van Gaal’s side picked up three big points in a tough match.
