Qatar vs. Ecuador, Highlights World Cup 2022, Match #1 Group A

And years preparing for this moment right here and they have a lot of experience in the back with Alshib in the net for Ecuador. Some inexperience but they have experience in the back with Galindez. The 2022 FIFA World Cup and the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador is underway. Did I mention physical? And a huge collision there And Daniel Orsato meanwhile. Stupinian will sweep it in. Goalkeeper comes. It's popped in the air. Alshib is lost in space. The ball's bobbling around the overhead. Valencia inside of three. Player in his nation's history. And it is offside. Just for Almo Azeli on the ball at all right now. Qatar, Michael Estrada with options. Valencia running in. Hesitation from Alshib. Oh I'm saved off the line but it's a penalty. Sado Alshib the goal. Valencia scores. Their goals in Brazil. Estupinian running in. He's going to cut it into the middle. It's over the top. It's a huge collision. 58 percent of the position in favor of Ecuador. That's not a foul. Munieff goes down. Caicedo runs on. Got to roll that one in for the run of Plata. Recovers himself out wide. Preciado sends in the cross. Poor first half for Qatar. 20 seconds of this half. Andrew Miguel spins it inside. Almo Azeli was making the run. Wide it goes to Aljeros instead. His cross Almo Azeli. That was the look. That was the moment for essentially the final touch of the half. Players sometimes you feed off of that energy even when things aren't going well. But there's a nervousness to this and a recognition. Here they come for more. It's Ibarra. Pushed away by El Che. Right now. Yeah I mean let's think about it. A knocked. A little bit of a knock to one of their center forwards. Two center midfielders on yellow cards. A 2-0 lead. Hassan lifting that one up. Aljero's waiting for it. Late run in the header. Flashing just wide. Pedro Miguel. Can't be able to react so quickly. He was focused the whole way. And then just an excellent finish. Glancing it with the right amount of power and precision inside the corner of the goal into the back of the net. Third and really send a message out. As they make their return to the World Cup. Cifuentes rolls it in. Aljibes there in time in front of Plata. And then they collide. That might be a question for Qatar. Does he start the second game in goal? This one's hard. The end of a long ball. They at Stadium thought that was in. Well Galindez plays this. Well the fief in. Header sent out. And that'll do it. Qatar's night. But Ecuador's victory. And Valencia adding to his record goal scoring haul in his nation's history. And we will see you starting tomorrow at 7 a.m. Eastern, 4 a.m. Pacific on FS1.
