Holland-Ecuador 1-1, well played by the Oranje at the start, then the Ecuadorians took a deserved draw. Scoreboard and report cards
Holland one step away from qualification after their draw against Ecuador. Van Gaal’s team need only win against Qatar to be sure of a pass to the round of 16. The team that is led by Valencia, on the other hand, only needs to not lose in the last match against Senegal to go ahead. But it will be a very difficult match. Of course, if Ecuador could repeat their performance against the Lancers, then there would be little doubt as to who would go forward in this World Cup. The match in any case ended 1-1, opened by Gakpo (second centre) and set up by Valencia at the start of the second half. For him, that’s already three goals in this World Cup.
