GUADALUPE, Mexico (AP) --- The Netherlands and Morocco headed to a penalty
shootout after a 1-1 draw in the World Cup Round of 32 on Monday night.
Cody Gakpo scored in the 72nd minute for the Dutch. After the goal, which was
assisted by Crysencio Summerville, the Dutch bench ran onto the field to
embrace the 27-year-old Gakpo, who broke down in tears. Gakpo and his partner,
Noa van der Bij, recently announced that they lost their unborn child.
Morocco's Issa Diop tied it in the 91st minute, heading in a long cross from
Chemsdine Talbi.
Neither team had a strong scoring opportunity in 30 minutes of extra time at
Estadio BBVA.
It was the second game of the tournament to conclude with a shootout. Paraguay
beat Germany on penalties earlier Monday.
The teams entered with the highest combined ranking of any Round of 32 match.
Morocco was sixth in the world and the Netherlands was seventh.
