AL RAYYAN, Qatar : Ecuador made it to Qatar from one of the world's toughest qualifying groups and have started superbly, but must only look forward, their coach said on Monday, as they seek the draw or win against Senegal to qualify for the last 16.
DOHA: Cody Gakpo scored again at the World Cup but the Netherlands missed the chance to secure a place in the last 16 on Friday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by battling Ecuador, a result which eliminated host nation Qatar. Gakpo, the gangly PSV Eindhoven forward who has been strongly linked with Manchester United, put the Netherlands ahead with a superb strike in the sixth minute at the Khalifa International Stadium. Yet, with a large and vociferous support behind them, Ecuador fought back with such ferocity that the Dutch were rattled, and they deserved the equalizer when it came through Enner Valencia four minutes after half-time.
DOHA : Veteran striker Enner Valencia, who has gone from selling cows' milk for his first boots to scoring Ecuador's last six World Cup goals, is rightly hailed as "Superman" at home.
