Video: The Dutch star "pulled the trigger" to make the Senegal player get on a stretcher and leave the field
In the match last night a rare situation happened in the Senegal - Netherlands match. In the 69th minute, seasoned midfielder playing in the English Premier League, Kouyate had to leave the field with his claws after receiving the "trigger pull" of Frenkie de Jong.
The slow-motion camera shows that in the situation of the ball dispute, Kouyate bounced high while the star of the Netherlands Tel and Barcelona Club, De Jong was defeated, but reached out with his left hand to push in ... the right place for Kouyate.


After this situation, the Senegalese midfielder was forced to leave the field on a stretcher and De Jong also escaped the card because according to the referee, the Dutch star only "inadvertently pressed the right hand" of the opponent.
The bad luck did not stop with Kouyate and Senegal because more than a dozen minutes later, it was De Jong who had the perfect shot to let Gakpo escape to open the scoring, before Klaassen closed the 2-0 victory for the Netherlands.
What a World Cup debut couldn't have been worse for 32-year-old midfielder Kouyate...!
