Aké helps the Netherlands reach the round of 16

Nathan Aké played the full 90 minutes of the Netherlands’ 2-0 victory over Qatar in Doha, which took Louis Van Gaal’s side to the last 16 at the top of Group A.

The City defender formed up in the Dutch back three alongside Virgil van Dijk and Jurrien Timber.

Goals from Cody Gakpo and Frankie De Jong earned the Netherlands their second league win against a host team who finished the World Cup with zero points.

The Oranje finish Group A at the top, with seven points, followed by Senegal, who beat Ecuador 1-2 in the other match of the day, which is saying goodbye to the World Cup.
