City appoint Enzo Maresca as manager

Nathan Ake started for the Dutch in Monterrey, Mexico as the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes with no further goals in extra time.

Morocco, who reached the semi-finals four years ago, carried the biggest threat.

Achraf Hakimi, winning his 100th cap, struck the crossbar while Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen made a number of strong saves to keep the game scoreless.

And with 18 minutes remaining, the Dutch took the lead when Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo fired them ahead.

But as the clock ticked into injury time, Issa Diop’s powerful header brought the African side level.

City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders remained on the bench despite the game heading to a penalty shootout with no goals in extra time.

The Dutch missed three of their spot-kicks before Ismail Saibari secured a 3-2 win to reach the last-16 where they will face Canada.

Brazil and Paraguay also progressed to the next round after beating Japan and Germany respectively.

City players Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki have their first knockout games on Tuesday.

Norway play Ivory Coast in Dallas at 18:00 (UK) before France take on Sweden in New Jersey at 22:00 (UK).
