PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — The Netherlands squandered a chance to qualify for the World Cup on Saturday when it gave up a two-goal lead in the final minutes to draw 2-2 in Montenegro when victory would have ensured a place in Qatar next year. The Netherlands still leads Group G by two points from Turkey and can qualify Tuesday by beating Norway in Rotterdam. Victory would have meant a return to the World Cup for the Netherlands next year after failing to qualify for Russia in 2018.
