What a header. He's having to put pace and direction on it.

BBC Sport at Al Bayt StadiumThis certainly was not in the script for Qatar, a real shocker of a first half from the hosts.
Some very glum looking faces in the stands.

Enner Valencia
Give this man the Golden Boot.
Enner Valencia is unmarked in the centre as he heads Angelo Preciado's cross into the bottom corner. Great header by the veteran.

Former England striker on BBC OneI don't think anything is going to stop the Qatar fans from enjoying this, regardless of the result.
They are loving it. Bouncing and swaying in the stands.

Former England striker on BBC OneEcuador don't over play.
Two or three short passes, Qatar think they can squeeze. As soon as they do, they play round.
Confident on the ball, good technicians.

Ecuador have had 62% of the ball. That penalty remains the only shot of the game (since disallowed goals don't count...)

Aleks: I like tactically organized and disciplined teams, not a fan at all of defenceless 'cavalier' style of football, but this Qatar side literally do nothing but park the bus, from second 1 of every game. easily the most negative team i ever saw, by a mile
Qatar boxed inpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 20 November 2022
As you can see from this Qatar heat map, the hosts are struggling to get out of their own half. They have been penned in by Ecuador in these opening 20 minutes.
