Doha

Ecuador came from behind to hold Netherlands to a 1-1 draw in the second game of their Group A match at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022.

The result meant hosts Qatar have been knocked out of the tournament.

The draw means neither side has yet qualified for the last 16 rounds of the tournament, although it does eliminate the hosts Qatar - who suffered a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Senegal earlier in the day.

The Netherlands took the lead early on thanks to Cody Gakpo's second goal of the competition, but Ecuador responded early in the second half through Enner Valencia.

The former West Ham striker scored his third goal of the competition, but there were late worries for him because he had to be carried out due to a knee injury.
