First round
The first group

The meeting between the Netherlands and Ecuador ended in a 1-1 draw, after the “mills” advanced with the goal of the brilliant young man, Cody Gakbo, so that Ecuador returned and scored the equalizing goal, through Enner Valencia, at the beginning of the second half.
Valencia became the top scorer in the World Cup, with 3 goals, while putting his country in an excellent position to qualify for the round of 16, but he left at the end of the match with an injury, which raised the concern of the fans who were counting on him a lot in the upcoming matches.
