Ecuador took the baton from the revelers on the opening night by beating Qatar 2-0. The hosts were poor in every department and could easily have lost by a wider margin.
Senegal were much more competitive against the Netherlands but suffered defeat by the same scoreline, with Louis van Gaal’s side scoring two late goals.
Both teams are therefore under pressure to win this match on Monday, which should make for a good match.
Kick off is at 13:00 GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the 2022 World Cup (opens in a new tab) wherever you are.

Players to watch / key battles
Akram Afif is Qatar’s best player, but the hosts will have to find a way to send the ball to him higher up the pitch. The 26-year-old dropped too deep to be effective against Ecuador.
Ismaila Sarr was Senegal’s brightest performer last time out, so his speed and trickery will be key to their approach here.

VPN Guide
If you’re out of the country for the 2022 World Cup, you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are thanks to your IP address (boo!) and prevents you from watching it. You can, however, use a VPN to circumvent this, without resorting to the illegal streams you found on Reddit.
A virtual private network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s terms and conditions, creates a private connection between your device and the internet, which means the service cannot determine where you are and will allow you to watch. And all information exchanged is fully encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good value for money options. For the 2022 World Cup, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
