Summerville exits World Cup but Canada progress
[Getty Images] West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville saw his shot saved during a dramatic penalty shootout against Morocco to knock the Netherlands out of the World Cup on Tuesday. Summerville had provided the assist for Cody Gakpo's opener in the 72nd minute, but Morocco equalised in the 91st to force extra time. Both sides had missed two previous penalties before the 24-year-old stood up to take the fifth for the Dutch side; however Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou denied him, and Ismael Saibari then sealed the win for their opponents. Burnley's Lyle Foster will also be heading home after South Africa succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Canada . However, the win for the North American side does mean three English Football League players have made it through to the round of 16 in the World Cup. Southampton striker Cyle Larin and Ali Ahmed of Norwich City both featured for Canada in the group stage but were unused substitutes for Sunday's knock-out match alongside Middlesbrough's Alfie Jones. Canada next faces Morocco in Texas on Saturday at 18:00 BST.
