Captain Enner Valencia scored two goals
The most important role in this victory of Ecuador was played by their captain Enner Valencia. He kept the pressure on Qatar’s team from the beginning and tried to take the ball to the goal post several times and finally scored in the 14th minute and 31st minute. He also scored a goal in the third minute of the match, but it was reviewed and found to be wrong, so it was cancelled.

Qatar should win next game to stay in the tournament
After this crushing defeat in the first match itself, the path has become even more difficult for Qatar. The hosts will hope to bounce back in the tournament with a win against Senegal on 25 November. At the same time, Ecuador’s team, which made a great start with a win in the World Cup, would like to maintain their winning momentum against the Netherlands on the same day. At the same time, after this, Qatar also has to play a match against the Netherlands and if it does not win both these matches, then it will be out of the tournament.
