GUADALUPE, Mexico (AP) — The Netherlands and Morocco were deadlocked 1-1 heading into extra time 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 cross from Chemsdine Talbi.
The teams entered with the highest combined ranking of any Round of 32 match. Morocco was sixth in the world and the Netherlands were seventh.
