Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Ecuador gets underway.
  • 5' Ecuador is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 6' Goal! Cody Gakpo scores his 93 goal in 436 matches.
  • 11' Netherlands seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 16' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jeremy Sarmiento, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 21' Michael Estrada needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 26' It’s high time Gustavo Alfaro made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 31' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 36' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Teun Koopmeiners made 300 appearances and scored 78 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Memphis Depay. He replaces Steven Bergwijn on 46 minute.
  • 49' GOAL! Enner Valencia scores on 49.
  • 54' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' Jhegson Mendez is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 58' Ecuador receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.
  • 63' Ecuador is showing some good football. However, Ecuador are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 69' Another change for Netherlands made on 69 minute. Davy Klaassen leaves to be changed by Steven Berghuis.
  • 74' Another substitution for Ecuador to replace Michael Estrada by Jeremy Sarmiento on 74 minute.
  • 79' Another substitution for Netherlands to replace Cody Gakpo by Wout Weghorst on 79 minute.
  • 80' Wout Weghorst has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cody Gakpo on 80 minute.
  • 85' It looks surprising Netherlands does not make any changes. Felix Torres has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Ecuador. Enner Valencia is replaced by Kevin Rodriguez.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
