After what seem like a goalless affair in the second group A clash between African champions Senegal and Netherlands, the Oranje boys broke the deadlock in the dying minute of the game.
Senegal had nine players from their Africa Cup of Nations winning squad in their starting line-up.
The Teranga Lions turned to Diatta to replace injured talisman Mane on the left side of their attack with Boulaye Dia given the striking role.
Frenkie de Jong of Netherlands came the closest in the first half but the Dutch midfielder couldn’t capitalize on a golden opportunity provided to him by Coady Gapko.
Earlier, the Netherlands named uncapped goalkeeper Andries Noppert in their starting line-up against Senegal who missed the services of their point man Sadio Mane.
However, deadlock was broken in the 84th minute after a brilliantly timed run sees Cody Gakpo get in behind the Senegal defense to connect with a De Jong cross and steer a glancing header past the onrushing Edouard Mendy from the edge of the six-yard box.
Just as Senegal pushed up front to get their second, the Dutch open them up on counter. Memphis Depay has the initial shot from the with his left foot from outside the box. Eduoard Mendy parries it away but is unable to clear it far off from Davy Klaassen’s reach, who taps the ball inside an open goal.
Senegal could also be without the services of star player, Cheikou Kouayate after he laid flat on his back in what seems like either a hamstring or knee injury after vying for a high ball.
The 32-year-old is stretchered off the pitch and replaced Papa Gueye.
