In Group A of the World Championship, the teams played evenly for the first time.
Having gained an early advantage, the Netherlands national team still could not defeat the Ecuadorian team - 1:1.
The Europeans started the game fantastically and scored in the 6th minute through C. Gakpo.
Released as if from a rifle, the Dutchman's shot is currently the fastest goal in the championship.
In the middle of the first half, Ecuador tried to take the initiative, with E. Valencia trying to be the sharp spear of attacks.
Just before the break, the South American representatives managed to score a goal, but the referee saw an offside.
The result became equal in the 49th minute - E. Valencia scored his third goal in the championship (1:1).
The Ecuadorians still shook the goalpost, but the result of the match remained unchanged.
Second half underway! 🇳🇱🇪🇨#FIFAWorldCup | #Qatar2022
