Doha, Qatar - Qatar became the first hosts in World Cup history to be knocked out after two games as a 3-1 loss to Senegal, coupled with a 1-1 draw between Ecuador and the Netherlands, sealed its fate.

Things were already looking bleak for Qatar after a late fightback wasn't enough to stop a clearly superior Senegal side, who went two up before taking their foot off the gas.

Later on, Cody Gakpo scored the fastest goal of the tournament so far to give the Netherlands the lead against Ecuador in the sixth minute. The winger took advantage of Ecuador's poor defending just outside the box and netted his second goal in two games.

Ecuador had the first chance to level in the 32nd, when Dutch keeper Andries Noppert made a big save to deny Enner Valencia. Pervis Estupinan then found the net, but his effort was ruled out for offside as the South Americans were taking control of the game.

They didn't waste much time in the second half and the irrepressible Valencia – now the tournament's top scorer and is responsible for his country's last six World Cup goals – found the equalizer in the 49th minute after taking a rebound from Estupinan's strike.

The Dutch defense could only watch when some 10 minutes later Gonzalo Plata's stunner hit the crossbar, meaning they would stay level on four points with Ecuador.

Valencia has left the field on a stretcher in the 89th after an injury that somewhat soured an excellent day for the South Americans.

With Qatar out, Ecuador v. Senegal and Netherlands against the hosts next Tuesday will decide which two teams will advance to the last 16.
