Al RAYYAN, Qatar (Reuters) - Netherlands play Qatar at the World Cup in Al Khor on Tuesday.
* Netherlands need a win or a draw to qualify to the last 16 for the 11th time regardless of the result between Senegal and Ecuador.
* If Netherlands lose they will qualify directly to the second round if Ecuador beat Senegal, but if Senegal win the goal difference or fairplay tiebreaker will decide second place in the group.* Qatar were the first team to be eliminated from the finals, and it was only the second time that a host country exited the tournament in the first round after South Africa in 2010.* Mohammed Muntari made history when he scored Qatar's first World Cup goal in the 3-1 defeat by Senegal.
