Former England striker on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ OneIt is becoming a little bit too easy for Ecuador, but Al-Sheeb made the save look easy,
Nice height.

Ecuador have a chance to put this to bed.
Qatar lose the ball and a quick through ball is pinged into Romario Ibarra. He cuts inside a dsefender and then curls a shot towards the bottom corner, which is saved.
First save of the World Cup.

The other teams in this group are Senegal and the Netherlands. So this was as good a chance as Qatar would get to win a game.
Very hard to see any kind of comeback here. It's all Ecuador still.

When you have it, try and keep it. Don't try anything fancy.

Former England striker on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ OneIt is a tough one to call for Qatar.
You want to go down the throats of your players, but there has to be a message of 'more energy'.

Qatar put a few passes together early doors but Ecuador break and look like they'll have a chance until Pervis Estupinan is tackled on the edge of the box.

The second half begins.
Enner Valencia's knock obviously wasn't bad because he's on the pitch too.

This is the first time the hosts of a World Cup have been two goals behind at half-time in their first match.
The only other hosts to trail were Spain in a 1-1 draw against Honduras in 1982.

Alex Scott
Former England and Arsenal defender on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ OneQatar can't handle Ecuador's physicality and tempo.
In transitions, they are so out of shape, Ecuador have just hit them through the middle.

It has been men against boys. They are too quick for Qatar, too good.
