The Dutch had taken the lead midway through the second half with a goal from Cody Gakpo, playing just days after his partner had confirmed the death of the couple\u2019s unborn son.<\/p>\n
Liverpool forward Gakpo sank to the turf and appeared overcome with emotion as he was surrounded by team-mates in a prolonged group embrace.<\/p>\n
But Morocco forced extra time when an unmarked Diop headed home from substitute Chemsdine Talbi\u2019s cross in injury time.<\/p>\n
Morocco had created the better chances of a fractious encounter, which saw players from both sides flying into tackles to test the patience of Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio.<\/p>\n
The Atlas Lions almost took the lead on 20 minutes when Neil al-Aynaoui glanced an Achraf Hakimi corner goalwards only to be denied by a superb reflex save from Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.<\/p>\n
Verbruggen was pressed into action moments later, this time doing well to tip a vicious strike from Hakimi over the bar.<\/p>\n
The fierce nature of the contest was on full display midway through the half when Saibari was lucky to escape sanction after elbowing Jan Paul van Hecke in the face.<\/p>\n
The Dutch continued to enjoy plenty of possession but were unable to convert it into goalscoring chances.<\/p>\n
Their best effort came on 44 minutes when Tottenham\u2019s Micky van de Ven uncorked a ferocious shot from the edge of the area that was tipped over by Bounou.<\/p>\n
Van Hecke continued to find himself in the thick of the action, and after bloodying his head in a collision in the penalty area, made his presence felt with a crunching tackle that upended el-Aynaoui just before half-time.<\/p>\n
As the half ended Saibari just failed to connect with a cross that flashed across the Dutch goal before going behind.<\/p>\n
The drama continued into an end-to-end second half, but appeared to have tilted in the Netherlands\u2019 favour when coach Ronald Koeman brought on forward Wout Weghorst in a flurry of substitutions after the hydration break.<\/p>\n
Weghorst made an immediate impact flicking on a long ball to send Summerville bearing in on goal. Summerville crossed to Gakpo, who hurled himself at the ball to score.<\/p>\n
The Netherlands, superbly marshalled by Gakpo\u2019s Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk, appeared to be heading for victory but Diop\u2019s late header sent it to extra-time.<\/p>\n
Morocco looked to have made the breakthrough when Soufiane Rahimi went through on goal in the 96th minute, only to be denied by a jaw-dropping save from Verbruggen.<\/p>\n
The Netherlands held on for penalties but despite Morocco missing their first when El-Aynaoui hit the bar, the north Africans recovered to win.<\/p>\n
