The Dutch, when they get sent home, will have to take a hard look at themselves and ask how they assembled a squad that completely lost interest in the game towards the middle of the second half. So many lazy passes, absolutely no will to push the ball up and play as a unit. Ecuador on the other hand were just hungry for it more and really should have won that game.

In other news, Qatar are out of the WC. First to play, first out. Seems reasonable.

The Netherlands had a great early start to this match with a lovely goal from Gakpo, as his left footed crisp shot, found the corner of the net. Ecuador though fought back well. They created several chances and eventually scored through non other than Enner Valencia. A shot from Estupinan was blocked and parried by Dutch goalie Noppert and Valencia was on hand to score from the rebound. That was Valencia's 3rd goal at this World Cup and his 3rd goal in 2 matches. Ecuador would go on to hit the crossbar through Gonzalo Plata, but the match finished in a 1-1 draw.

The Netherlands will not be happy with their performance today. Like some other European sides, they appeared to tire and it could be that the high humidity levels got to them.
