Netherlands vs Ecuador || Highlights fifa world cup qatar 2022
- last year
But with a large and vociferous support behind them, Ecuador fought back with such ferocity that the Dutch were rattled – and an Ecuador goal disallowed just before half-time gave an indication of the one-way traffic which was to follow in the second half.
Minutes into the second period, Enner Valencia became this World Cup’s highest goal scorer – so far – with a goal in the 49th minute. It was the captain’s third goal of the campaign after his brace in his country’s opening win over Qatar.
With the Netherlands and Ecuador now both on four points in Group A, followed by Senegal with three, Qatar cannot now qualify for the knock-out stages as they stand at the bottom of the table with zero points ahead of their last match against the Dutch side.
Very few would have expected the hosts to get out of the group, but they will be disappointed to go into the last group game with nothing on the line.
