Valencia taps home leveller

Gakpo stunner puts Dutch ahead

Here's a reminder of how this one played out.

On balance, England would probably prefer to play Netherlands in the next round on this evidence although they'd fancy their chances against either.

Remember, Gareth Southgate's side can seal qualification from Group B if they beat United States this evening.

Less than an hour to go so head over here for team news and build-up.

Confirmation of how Group A stands after this afternoon's game.

The Netherlands need just a draw in their final game to secure qualification, as do Ecuador although their match with Senegal on Tuesday now looks pretty tasty.

Ignominy for Qatar as their exit is the earliest by a host nation in World Cup history.

FULL-TIME

An entertaining game ends all square in Group A - a result that suits both sides and confirms Qatar's exit from their own World Cup.

Ecuador fully deserved their equaliser and probably shaded the contest overall.

Enner Valencia being carried off a real concern.

Jeremy Sarmiento delivers but Virgil van Dijk is unflappable as ever. Cleared.

Ecuador have a corner. Two minutes left.

Oof, Kevin Rodriguez almost scores with his first touch.

Andries Noppert takes too long with a clearance, Rodriguez closes him down and the ball deflects just wide.

Six added minutes.

SUBSTITUTION

Enner Valencia is replaced by Kevin Rodriguez who was going through some extensive prayers before his introduction. The 22-year-old plays in Ecuador's second division and is the ultimate wildcard for La Tri.

Also on is Romario Ibarra for Gonzalo Plata who hit the crossbar earlier.

Not a sight we like to see.

Enner Valencia has left the field on a stretcher and is clutching his face. He has to be a doubt for their crunch match with Senegal on Tuesday.

Enner Valencia is down and looks in some distress.

He's putting a shift in given the "trauma" his boss Gustavo Alfaro said he suffered to his knee against Qatar.

Ecuador aren't happy that Netherlands didn't put it out of play but they were within their rights to play on.

The ball's dead now and Valencia can receive some treatment.

It's poor from Steven Berghuis and doesn't clear the first Ecuador defender.

Sums up their second half.

Five minutes to go.

Can anyone muster a winner?

Nathan Ake is dragged down and the Netherlands have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

A telling visualisation of the ease with which Ecuador have fashioned shooting opportunities - nine inside the box, in fact.

The Dutch, however, have struggled badly on that front, with just one effort since the goal.

Louis van Gaal's side have only managed six touches inside the Ecuador penalty area.

How to assess this Dutch team.

They've really not going this evening after that fine early goal -yet if it stays like this they'll be a point against Qatar on Tuesday away from the knockout stages.

Less than the sum of their parts at the moment but getting the job done all the same.

It's half cleared to Angelo Preciado and we're all urging him to hit it...

As his shot soars high into the stands, he gives a rueful grin and trots back into position.

SUBSTITUTION

Cody Gakpo is off as is Teun Koopmeiners.

Former Middlesbrough man Marten de Roon joins the action along with Wout Weghorst, fresh from his undistinguished spell at Burnley last season.

The 6ft 6in striker's first job will be to help defend a corner.
