Dutch forward Cody Gakpo’s World Cup campaign ends as he receives a standing ovation following his final appearance. Multiple reports describe that earlier on Saturday, Gakpo and his partner, model Noa van der Bij, publicly announced the death of their unborn child. The outlets also note the sequence of events around his match: after scoring a goal, he then exits the tournament. While the reports focus on the personal announcement and the on-field moment, they do not provide additional details about the timing of medical circumstances or any further information beyond the announcement itself. The accounts underline that the public response from the crowd accompanies the end of his World Cup stint, and they frame his performance and departure as occurring shortly after the announcement made by Gakpo and his partner. No outlet cited here contests the central facts: Gakpo is the Dutch player involved, the announcement concerns the death of their unborn child, and he ends the World Cup after a goal and subsequent elimination.
