00:00It is Group B action from the Kansas City Stadium.
00:06A critical juncture in Group B.
00:09There are four professional sporting venues in Kansas City.
00:15Mordonez and Minda move to the bench, both available.
00:18Poroso, the only player.
00:20Basur and Hansen, both available.
00:23No player for Curaçao.
00:26Ecuador take the first touch.
00:28Center, Valencia puts it in play.
00:30Group E, critical match day to fixture.
00:34It is Curaçao and Ecuador in Kansas City.
00:41Very interesting to see how Ecuador, for me, progress through the game
00:46because the quality is so high, you need to make sure that
00:49you put away your opportunities.
00:52Taysero, seeking Valencia, brings it in.
00:55Enter Valencia, denied.
00:58Eloy Rome.
01:01There is a hero in Curaçao.
01:04Been there from the beginning of this rise.
01:07Turns away.
01:09Well, here we go.
01:12Ball was absolutely perfect, and this is what I'm talking about.
01:15Outside of the right foot, across the defender.
01:19And you think at this point it's just going to nestle in the corner.
01:22Fantastic save.
01:25Fans, the Ecuador fans, have been a little bit perplexed.
01:28You mentioned the reception that the manager got,
01:31and in part one, because I think of how defensively they play,
01:34but also because of his omissions at times.
01:37Maybe a chance for Ecuador, Rome.
01:39A comfortable save in the end.
01:42And the pressure from Yeboa.
01:51Well worked off the outside.
01:54Shipped across the face of goal, and off target from Pedro Vite.
02:00They're increasingly starting to bother.
02:02Curaçao trying to open his hips up.
02:05Bob the goalkeeper.
02:08Just doesn't have enough curl.
02:10It's not the right technique to bring it to the side.
02:13Bar post quickly enough.
02:17And then I think that's the moment where you shoot.
02:20You've got that half a yard.
02:21You can even toe poke it.
02:22And it's going to cause the goalkeeper a problem.
02:24But that extra touch is too much.
02:26Turned over.
02:27Awkward bounce for Rome.
02:29Deals with it in the end.
02:31And an injured player for Curaçao.
02:34Neuer in video games for so long.
02:37Called it a beautiful moment that he scored on the 40-year-old German goalkeeper.
02:45Probably about 80%, 90% of the fans as well.
02:51And Capier across!
02:52Room!
02:54Right place, right time.
02:56Valencia with a poke that nearly...
02:59I think Yeboa would deserve more from this, from his run.
03:02This is the early opportunity that I mentioned.
03:05In Capier, it's a wonderful ball.
03:06It's just a glancing touch from Valencia.
03:09And that's fine if you're one or two yards out.
03:12But from that type of area, it just needed more power.
03:15It comes off.
03:16It's the great Curaçao highlight of all time.
03:19Fonville.
03:21Fonville laying over Bakuna!
03:23That got blocked by Pacho.
03:25And scooped up by Galindez.
03:28See what happens here.
03:30Nice little...
03:31flick.
03:34And the...
03:35Straight-in thing about that...
03:37And the worst thing about that is when a player...
03:41Goes down and there's no impact.
03:43It's always a massive worry.
03:46Doesn't look good for Bakuna.
03:50They're the four-hour starting in a World Cup.
03:54Turned over to Chong.
03:56Very awkwardly.
03:58Chong dribbling forward.
04:00Wins a free kick.
04:02And the yellow card, the first issued in this match, belongs...
04:10Chong.
04:11Chong.
04:11The little knock on the ankle.
04:14Be a painful one.
04:16Recover and give it away.
04:18Here comes Ecuador.
04:19More space than they've had much of the day.
04:22And that is a domineering challenge.
04:25What a step from Bakuna.
04:26It comes with the yellow card.
04:29Yeah, there's no hiding that one.
04:32You'll file that one.
04:33Undertaking one for the team.
04:46Ball whipped toward frame.
04:47Rome.
04:48Got enough to steer that straight through the middle and cleared away by Curaçao.
04:53I think he's fortunate.
04:57I think they just couldn't get out of each other's way.
05:01Clearly enough, that was the earlier opportunity.
05:05Mioboa takes the initial shot.
05:07Probably the only thing that you would argue that Rome's done wrong in terms of...
05:11They've been up to this task.
05:13Ball laced across.
05:15Rodriguez brings it in at the end line.
05:18Degari forces him out.
05:21First touch of letdown.
05:22Caicedo.
05:24Caicedo!
05:25Rome.
05:28And I like the pocket.
05:29But it's about fine margins.
05:30This is the...
05:32That Caicedo has.
05:34It's a pretty good channel there, actually, for room to see it in the end.
05:38But as I mentioned, the platter takes up a really good position.
05:42But his first touch isn't good enough.
05:44He can be on the half turn.
05:45And whether that's his touch, whether it's the awareness...
05:48No.
05:53Back to Franco.
05:54Back to Franco.
05:55That is Bakuna.
05:57Shown yellow.
05:59Now, you might think Bakuna has a yellow.
06:01That's his brother.
06:02They're both booked now.
06:08That's another yellow card.
06:10This one, Puminencia.
06:22Back in Ecuador.
06:25Taicedo serves.
06:27Etter snapped out of top.
06:28The six.
06:29Rome.
06:29Turns it away.
06:31Back across the six-yard box.
06:34And Curaçao...
06:37Still very much alive.
06:39And the run from Bakuna.
06:41Broken up.
06:41But he continues through.
06:44Bakuna.
06:47On to La Cádia.
06:53That's the most threatening moment of the match for Ecuador.
06:57Could it lead to the most threatening for Curaçao yet?
07:01Fonville, an amateur two years ago, circulates back Florianis.
07:08Bakuna!
07:09The save.
07:10The first from Galindez.
07:13Spinning back in.
07:14Bakuna.
07:15Colmenencia!
07:18Galindez, the follow.
07:19Deflects around.
07:21And cleared.
07:24Whoa!
07:25Rodriguez, the final clearance.
07:26Galindez, two huge saves.
07:29Well, we've waited for this game.
07:33Yapoah crafting the service.
07:35The header snapped out.
07:36Rolled again!
07:38Oh, he's got a cape on.
07:40But this stage, so much bigger.
07:42The corner for Ecuador.
07:44The header down.
07:45Rome again.
07:46Atop the six.
07:47That got blocked.
07:47Header down again.
07:48Rome is there.
07:50I think Chong has been excellent in his ball carrying.
07:52But let's have a look at the goalkeeper.
07:54Back's one away there.
07:56Reaction save.
07:57I think it's Florianis in there, wasn't it, that makes one of the blocks.
08:03And then the relief that man must have had.
08:08Barely mentioned him, which is always, I think, a good thing when it comes to the officials.
08:13Ma Ning in his central officiating World Cup debut.
08:17Hit from distance, room.
08:1913 saves and the first on the new substitute, Angulo.
08:25Probably rather not make too many more saves.
08:27He'd rather his defense help him out a little bit.
08:29But they have on that occasion.
08:33It's Florianis getting himself in the way.
08:38Will he be called upon again?
08:40John Yeboah.
08:45Yeboah, the header, is above the bar.
08:47It's an unmarked header for exactly the man you'd hope would see it.
08:51And Capier above the bar.
08:53Slightly behind him, but still, I think you're expecting him to hit the target there.
08:58I really do.
08:59Unmarked in the end.
09:02Gauri, for some reason, can't get anywhere near him and should be hitting the target in Capier.
09:08Bakuna.
09:10The return.
09:11And now his brother takes over.
09:13Janinho Bakuna.
09:15Bakuna!
09:16Oh, one big part of that from Galindez.
09:20I think that takes a massive deflection, Mike.
09:22He does well to get to that.
09:25And now it is Kevin Rodriguez being brought down.
09:30That comes with a yellow card.
09:34Colemanencia and the Bakuna brothers, four yellow cards to Curacao now.
09:41Slipped ahead.
09:42Here's the chance.
09:43It's wide.
09:45It's wide from Valencia.
09:48Wow.
09:49Better look on the replay.
09:54No.
09:54He's just...
09:55I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
09:58Maybe it is.
09:59Maybe it's a touch.
10:03Time is fleeting.
10:05Moises Caicedo.
10:06Off the turn.
10:09Swung out to Preciado.
10:12Hanging that across.
10:13Hit the woodwork.
10:15That is the fourth time in this World Cup that Ecuador has hit the woodwork.
10:20He thought he was going to be the hero of the story.
10:24That's trying to find Jordi Caicedo.
10:27That's trying to find his teammates.
10:29It's mishit.
10:31There's a sigh of relief from...
10:35Well done by Moises Caicedo to win possession.
10:40And that is wholly unnecessary.
10:43Castaner picks up what he'll consider to be a very worthwhile yellow card.
10:47Of the crowd that thought that was game over, but it is now, I think.
10:52A bowler in the sea has a point at the World Cup.
10:56Curacao is shocked Ecuador.
11:00A nil-nil draw in Kansas City.
11:06An extraordinary point for Dick Advocat.
11:10A historic performance for Eloy Rome.
11:16Curacao nil.
11:18Ecuador nil.
11:22One of the most shocking World Cup results in recent memory.
