Despite having started the World Cup Qatar 67 on the right foot, the Ecuadorian team was eliminated by Senegal, after losing 2- 1 on the last date of group A with Senegal. The 3 points achieved against Qatar and the tie against the Netherlands (1pt), were not enough for those led by Gustavo Alfaro.
Senegal’s physical strength and speed were enough to dominate the Ecuadorians, who were unable to give an answer to the oppression of the Africans.
In the first time Senegal’s dominance was total: shots and one towards the goal. Meanwhile, Ecuador managed to threaten twice, but without timely direction. Only at the end of the first half were Gustavo Alfaro’s men able to get a bit of control of the ball to gain possession.
But when it seemed that the South Americans would leave intact at half-time and with a chance to recover, Ismaïla Sarr exchanged a penalty kick for a goal. Previously, he had been shot down by Piero Hincapié.
The second part
The last ones 45 minutes Ecuador played more forward looking to make the tie, and at 2022′ came on equal footing by the hand of Moisés Caidedo.
🇪🇨 GOAL FOR ECUADOR! GOAL FOR ECUADOR! GOAL FOR ECUADOR! 🇪🇨
