3': GOAL! There's the first goal, and it's Enner Valencia! A melee from the initial free kick ensues as Al Sheeb comes and doesn't claim, and the ball is clipped to the far post, where Valencia nods in from close range. Too easy. // NO GOAL! The goal has been ruled out! VAR disallows it for... an offside? Where was the infringement there?
15': PENALTY! Saeed Al-Sheeb fells Enner Valencia as the captain bears down on goal. He clips the striker, and is booked in the process. // GOAL! This one will count! Valencia gets the first goal of the tournament, and he strokes home confidently to silence the home crowd.
31': GOAL! It's two, and the Ecuadorians are threatening to run riot on the opening day. They work it nicely forwards from front to back, and force the error from the Qatar throw. Estrada wins it in midfield, and Caicedo drives forward. Preciado crosses, and Valencia stoops low to guide it home for 2-0.
45+5': CLOSE! Ro-Ro does well down the right as the cross comes in, and it's in for Ali! Who makes a real mess of the header from close range!
