Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Al Bayt Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Qatar and Ecuador.
  • 3' Enner Valencia makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Ecuador are in front.
  • 8' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 13' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ecuador that had 15 games and scored 14 goals.
  • 15' Saad Al Sheeb is having his name booked by the referee on 15.
  • 16' What a moment for Enner Valencia! That strike on 16 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 21' A quiet spell here at Al Bayt Stadium. Qatar seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 22' That is a Yellow card for Qatar. Almoez Ali will be fuming at that decision.
  • 27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 29' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Moises Caicedo.
  • 31' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Enner Valencia makes no mistake. 0-3!
  • 36' Karim Boudiaf picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 41' Ecuador are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 46' Ecuador fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 51' Qatar is showing some good football. However, Qatar are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' Jhegson Mendez was booked on 56.
  • 61' Ecuador started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
  • 66' Ecuador come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 68' A tactical swap from Ecuador — Jeremy Sarmiento on, Romario Ibarra off on 68 minutes.
  • 71' The Qatar bench stirs into life. Hassan Al Haydos is withdrawn and Mohammed Waad gets his opportunity.
  • 72' Qatar ring the changes. Hassan Al Haidos has done his job and it is now time for Mohammed Waad to step up.
  • 76' Another change for Ecuador made on 76 minute. Enner Valencia leaves to be changed by Jose Cifuentes.
  • 77' Jose Cifuentes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Enner Valencia on 77 minute.
  • 78' Akram Afif picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 83' Qatar have won 7 goals from 9 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 88' Boualem Khoukhi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 90' Michael Estrada makes way for Kevin Rodriguez at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Ecuador.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Qatar.
