Noppert battles past Noguera in decider to claim Quarter-Final spot for Netherlands

The Netherlands are the final country into the Quarter-Finals at the World Cup of Darts after defeating Spain in yet another clean sweep but it is another that went right down to the wire.
In Michael van Gerwen's case, it didn't. The World Number One breezed past Toni Alcinas 4-0 with a 102 average. His doubles in particular were impressive with 4/7 (57%) including a high checkout of 112 as he anchored Netherlands to their first point and restricted Alcinas to only one dart at double.
It was now up to Danny Noppert to face arguably the better form player in the Spanish duo in Jesus Noguera and it nearly went to a pairs decider.
Noguera took the advantage early on with a 2-1 lead over Noppert. A tense fourth leg followed which saw the latter tie the game up . Despite that though Noguera went one away with an 84 checkout.
Noppert attempted to take the game away with seven perfect darts following that and pinned double four to claim a decider. From there, Noguera missed multiple chances to win and Noppert hit 46 to capitalise and win through.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
