Group A
Poland vs Ecuador in Gelsenkirchen:
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.
Ecuador vs Costa Rica
in Hamburg:
Ecuador's second win, without conceding a goal, puts them top of group A; ahead of the
deciding match against the hosts, Germany.
Ecuador vs Germany in Berlin:
Ecuador had already qualified for the Second Round before this game, which is just as well
because Germany totally controlled the game; much to Luis Suarez' displeasure.
Knockout Stage
Second Round
England vs Ecuador in Stuttgart:
David Beckham took a while to get the ball sitting right, shook his head and released a
high, curling ball over the wall that dipped low and clipped the inside of the post; to
send Ecuador out of the World Cup.
