Doha: Captain Enner Valencia has apologized to the country and fans after Ecuador were eliminated from the World Cup without seeing the preliminaries. “We never expected it. We were satisfied with our work. “Unfortunately, we apologize for not being able to meet Ecuador’s expectations,” said Valencia, who captained the team at the World Cup, after the match.
Senegal, the African power, entered the quarterfinals with a resounding victory, upsetting the calculation of Ecuador, whose draw was enough to access the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar. In the last match of Group A, Senegal overcame Ecuador 2-1.
Senegal secured the quarterfinals after a brilliant performance from the first minute of the match. Ismailazar (44) and Kalidou Koulibaly (70) scored Senegal’s goal from a penalty. Moises Ceceido (67′) scored the goal for Ecuador. They reached the quarterfinals as runners-up behind the Netherlands.
