Netherlands v Uzbekistan

Netherlands found a deserved late winner after a questionable penalty decision awarded to them beyond the 95 minutes that were added on. At this stage, it is all about much-needed minutes in the players' legs as well as getting acclimatised with the US heat. Gakpo stoodout with the matchwinner showing his quality from minute one. It maybe slightly concerning though for Koeman that he was the only one able to take his chances, and even they both came from the spot. Reijnders, Brobbey and Malen were all constantly off target throughout. The Dutch peppered the Uzbek goal having had 15 attempts. Uzbekistan thought they had found a lifeline in the 92nd minute through substitute Sergeev, who slotted home coolly. It's the real thing now for both sides with the World Cup kicking off on Thursday. Netherlands will face Japan while Cannavaro's men will take on Colombia.

FULL TIME: NETHERLANDS 2-1 UZBEKISTAN

GAKPO HAS WON IT FROM THE SPOT!!! 2-1 TO NETHERLANDS!!!

The referee has bizzarely awarded a penalty. We're in the 97th minute now. Van Hecke was pulled back from a corner. It didn't seem enough for a penalty but the referee has awarded it.

BIG SAVE FROM YUSUPOV. Summerville latched onto a Dumfries header but the goalkeeper stands tall.

HOW HAS THAT STAYED OUT?!?!?! From inside the six-yard box, Reijnders was unable to convert to find a late winner for Netherlands. It was the exact same trio that combined in the first half with Gakpo finding Dumfries who laid it in the path for the midfielder, but he seemed to bluff his lines.

GOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!! SERGEEV FINDS A LATE EQUALISER!!!

There will be a minimum of five additional minutes at the end of this game.

87'

Red Card

A RED CARD FOR TIL WHO HAS JUST COME ON! That seems really harsh for what was an accidental handball. The referee has been spot on so far, but that seems a little strange for a warm-up match. What is even more confusing, is that the referee has given a red card for a handball that occurred outside of the box, and not the second one that looked like it was inside the 18-yard box! It's a free-kick to Uzbekistan, not a penalty!

A VAR check is underway for a potential penalty for Uzbekistan! Til, who has only just come on, seemed to handle the ball inside the penalty area. The referee has gone to the monitor to review the incident!

Nice interchange between Brobbey and Gakpo. Gakpo looks for Brobbey again as he gathers pace but his cross is nearly turned into his own net by Ashurmatov

77'

Substitution

The first of two changes for Uzbekistan, Iskanderov is on for Fayzullaev.

77'

Substitution

And now Shomurodov is replaced by Sergeev.

Van de Ven's cross flashes right across the face of goal. It was missed by the goalkeeper Yusupov which seemed to have done enough to put off Brobbey who was on his heels at the back post.

75'

Yellow Card

Summerville sees a yellow card for a challenge on Khamdamov. The West Ham winger is hobbling but he'll be praying it's nothing serious at such an important time.

Til is seen more as an attacking threat and not so much a like for like replacement for De Jong so Reijnders' has dropped deeper for the final 20 minutes of this game. Reijnders' versatility will be key throughout the tournament having played in a deeper role for Manchester City for the majority of his first season at the Etihad.

The game is back underway.

72'

Substitution

Til is on for De Jong in midfield.

The referee signals for a cooling break and a chance for the players to get refreshed for the remainder of the game.

Brobbey thought he had found the second with a powerful finish from inside the box, but the striker was offside.

67'

Yellow Card

Ashurmatov becomes the first player to go into the book.

67'

Substitution

Vebruggen is replaced by Flekken. Vebruggen looks to be injured but has been able to walk off. The Brighton goalkeeper seemed to have been hurt in a challenge just a couple of minutes ago. Koeman will be hoping it's nothing too serious.

65'

Substitution

Malen comes off for Brobbey. It's a straight swap up front from Koeman.

Reijnders' cross in is cleared away and Uzbekistan can break here! Van Dijk is back just in time to get the ball to safety for Netherlands.

Khusanov commits a foul on Malen and Netherlands have a chance to put the ball into the box. Malen was just that extra bit sharper than the defender.
