Former England Centre-Back on BBC OneWhen you lose 7-1 against Germany it's credit to them they have come back with 0-0. They will be happy with that at half time.

Martin Keown
Former England Centre-Back on BBC OneJuninho Bacuna is an outstanding player, he's not one they want to lose.
It could be an injury he has come into the game with and inflamed the problem.

Deveron Fonville comes down the line and slides the ball back to Juninho Bacuna.
He spins but his shot it straight at an Ecuador defender.

It’s been pretty even. Ecuador are looking dangerous but Curaçao have defended really well and also have posed big threats with opportunities they’ve made. Both teams in my opinion should be doing better finishing. But from a curaçao point of view they’re doing just fine.

Oh! That was a great opportunity for Curacao.
They counter-attack but Juninho Bacuna just takes too many touches inside the box and Ecuador manage to close him down.

Ecuador 0-0 Curacao
Gonzalo Plata snatches at a loose ball and sends a half-volley towards goal from about 20 yards out, but it's straight at Eloy Room.
