England vs Ecuador - score 1-0
Game ended
Phew… Ecuador almost score a goal at 11mins, shot hit the goal pole… Possession for both teams is 50% - 50%, not many shot in the first half. Expect more excitement in the second half.
Beckham SCORED on free kicked at 60mins! Beautiful curve long shot, that’s what I like to see from him. Ecuador played well and very persistent but only without good finishing.
