Nizozemci so v šestnajstini finala svetovnega prvenstva v nogometu 2026 v Monterreyju izpadli pred Marokom po streljanju enajstmetrovk. Tekma, ki je trajala 120 minut, je končala z rezultatom 4:3 v prid maročanom. Po rednem delu in podaljšku je bil rezultat 1:1, medtem ko so Nizozemci v enajstmetrovkah izgubili trije igralci – Crysencio Summerville, Justin Kluivert in Quinten Timber. Maroko je v zadnji seriji enajstmetrovk zadel Ismail Saibari, kar je odločil o zmago. Nizozemci, ki so bili neporaženi v 16. zaporednem tekmu na SP, so tretji zaporednički izpadli po enajstmetrovkah, kar je ponovno poudarilo njihovo slabo srečo v teh situacijah.
Tekma je začela z izjemno intenzivno igro, kjer so obe ekipi ustvarili več priložnosti. V prvem polčasu so Nizozemci imeli več kontrole, a je bil vratar Maroka Bart Verbruggen ključen za zadrževanje rezultata. V 20. minuti je Hakimi izvedel kot z desne strani, medtem ko je El Ajnaui močno streljal z glavo iz bližine. Verbruggen je izkazal izjemne refleksne sposobnosti in odbil žogo čez gol. V naslednji akciji je Hakimi poskusil z roba kazenskega prostora z desne strani, znova se je s parado izkazal Verbruggen. Edina priložnost za Nizozemsko je bila Micky van de Ven, ki je poskusil z močnim strelom po sredini vrat s 25 metrov, a je Jasin Bono žogo odbil prek vrat.
Drugi polčas je bil še bolj dinamičen. Maročani so začeli odločneje in v 52. minuti je Hakimi z desne strani stresel prečko. Selektor Ronald Koeman, ki je zavedao se igre Maročanov, ki so bili v skupinskem delu neporaženi, je odmaknil od tipične formacije 4-3-3. Micky van de Ven je zamenjal Tijjanija Reijndersa, da bi dokončal obrambno peterko in si prizadeval za večjo obrambno stabilnost. Koeman se je zaradi te taktične izbire soočil s kritikami. "Vem, da bi bil kot selektor reprezentance pohvaljen, če ne bi prejela tistega izenačujočega gola za 1:1. Zdaj pa me kritizirajo, ker igram s petimi branilci," je pripomnil član zmagovite ekipe z evropskega prvenstva leta 1988. Zanimivo, v njegovi začetni enajsterici je bilo skupno kar devet igralcev iz angleške premier lige.
V 72. minuti je Nizozemska povedla, ko je Cody Gakpo po hitrem protinapadu gol v mrežo pospravil. Akcija se je zgodila po vmesnem premoru za hlajenje, do Gakpoja je žogo po prodoru v kazenski prostor kljub izgubi ravnotežja mojstrsko podaljšal Crysencio Summerville. Zadetek je bil izjemno čustven trenutek za napadalca Nizozemske, ki je bil v zadnjih dneh blizu odhoda s prvenstva, potem ko jima je s partnerko Noo umrl še nerojeni sin, a se je naposled odločil ostati z ekipo. Vendar je Summerville postal en izmed tragičnih junakov tekme, saj je bil eden od treh Nizozemcev, ki pri streljanju enajstmetrovk niso bili natančni. Njegov poskus v peti seriji strelov z bele pike je ubranil vratar Maroka Yassine Bounou. Pred tem je Justin Kluivert zadel vratnico, Quinten Timber pa je žogo poslal povsem mimo gola.
V 91. minuti je Maroko izsilil podaljšek, ko je Issa Diop z glavo po natančni podaji v kazenski prostor zadel. Zmago Maroka je v zadnji seriji potrdil Ismail Saibari, medtem ko sta sicer svoja strela z bele točke v okvir vrat poslala Neil El Aynaou in Achrafa Hakimi. To je bila četrta tekma šestnajstine finala mundiala, vse doslej so se odločile po koncu izteka rednega dela. V torek bodo na sporedu tri tekme: ob 19. uri po slovenskem času se bosta pomerili Norveška in Slonokoščena obala, ob 23. uri sledi tekma med Francijo in Švedsko, nato pa ob 3. uri v noči na sredo še dvoboj Mehike in Ekvadorja.
