That was a great chance for Sarmiento. He should get it on target. I think it would have been onside if they looked at it again. If he doesn't score, that'll be the last thing he thinks about before he goes to sleep tonight.

Jose Cifuentes just overhits a through ball to Gonzalo Plata, who clatters the keeper while sliding for the ball.

Qatar's Akram Afif is booked now.

Ecuador should make it 3-0, actually no - it was offside.

Brighton's former England youth international Jeremy Sarmiento gets the ball in space 12 yards out but sidefoots it over the bar.

He collapses to the ground with his head in his hands - and is probably relieved to see the offside flag means it wouldn't have counted.

Ecuador have found this easier than they thought.

It could have been three or four if they were more potent going forward but they've done enough.

One thing I will say about Qatar is they don't look like they're tiring and that can be big in games like this.

Ecuador captain Enner Valencia has done very little since that first-half knee injury. And he comes off now for Jose Cifuentes.

Unless something very unlikely happens in the last 14 minutes, Valencia is the matchwinner for Ecuador with his two goals.

Qatar found an opening, albeit on an angle 25 yards out.

Better football, too late in the game.

Qatar fans get excited as striker Akram Afif lines one up from 30 yards. Sadly for them it sails over the bar.

Ecuador's Piero Hincapie has completed 97% of his passes in this match – the highest accuracy figure of any starter.

The 20-year-old Bayer Leverkusen defender is highly rated.

No host team have ever lost their opening game of a World Cup. Not many can have been as poor as Qatar.

Sarmiento has a real opportunity to show what he can do. He's already shown in his first couple of touches that he really believes in himself.

Double Qatar change.

Mohammed Muntari and Mohammed Waad replace captain Hassan Al Haydos and Almoez Ali, who was hoping to become his country's record scorer tonight.

The fans that left at half-time haven't returned, this stadium is half empty now and we've still got half an hour to play.

Jeremy Sarmiento actually played for England up to Under-18 level.

Jeremy Sarmiento replaces Romario Ibarra for Ecuador.

He joins Brighton players Moises Caicedo and Pervis Estupinan in the team.

Anyone feeling like there aren't enough Brighton players in this game? A third is on the way.

Qatar are slowly running out of ideas.

They haven't got the players out there in order to affect the game at the moment.

This game has the most cards (five yellows) in a World Cup opener since Germany versus Bolivia in 1994 (six yellow cards and one red card).

Play continues with right-back Angelo Preciado off the pitch.

And Qatar have a rare chance in his absence with Pedro Miguel powering a header wide from about 16 yards out.
