Outsiders Move In Front

Group A Match

Poland vs Ecuador
Gelsenkirchen

Previous Encounters:
Poland and Ecuador had only played each other once; a recent friendly match in Barcelona, Spain (13th November, 2005). Poland won the game (3:0) with goals from Tomasz Klos, Ebi Smolarek and Sebastian Mila.

Poland kicked-off the second game of the 2006 World Cup Finals but it was the so-called outsiders in this encounter who shocked some European pundits when Carlos Tenorio, who plays his football in Qatar, nodded Ecuador into the lead with 24 minutes played (0:1).

Within a few minutes, Agustin Delgado the provider had almost doubled Ecuador's lead.

Half-time: (0:1).

The second half didn't start much better for Poland. With over an hour gone, the Poles still seemed short on ideas and lacked the movement needed to bring the power of Teamgeist into the spirit of play.

Ecuador sealed victory ten minutes from time as a fluid move split the Poland defence; with substitute Ivan Kaviedes beating the offside line to slip a neat pass across to Augustin Delgado (0:2); as Poland will feel disappointed about the two attempts at goal that hit the woodwork and could at least have given them a point, going into the Germany game.

Poland will have to beat the hosts now, if they hope to move onto the Second Round, while Ecuador can feel comfortable ahead of their meeting with Costa Rica.

Final Score:
Poland 0 - Ecudaor 2

Goalscorers Goalscorers:
0:1 Carlos Tenori (24)
