SWITZERLAND TURNS UP IN ECUADOR WITH A COUNTER ATTACK GOAL IN STOPPAGE

Last bid silences Ecuadorians, mostly in Brasilia. South Americans have a chance of winning, but waste goal and suffer the backlash                                                                        

       Switzerland     2       X       1        Ecuador                                                                                                                                                       Seemed to run beneath the red shirts of the Swiss Latin blood red. His twisted, Minority Mane Garrincha was muffled by the South Americans who cheered for Ecuador. But Switzerland was who had more claw until the last minute. Silenced the stadium and made it 47 minutes from time. Mehmedi had tied the game after Enner Valencia to open the scoring. Fitted Seferovic, another who left the bench, the Swiss decree triumph 2-1 in a withering backlash, after Ecuador have a chance of victory. Silenced the stadium. Changed the game. The first tie in the World Cup happen on Sunday in Brasilia, but the Europeans have been more excited in the field and dropped in front of Group E.

France and Honduras complement the round key later on Sunday in Porto Alegre.Switzerland back to Porto Seguro, Bahia, to prepare for the encounter with France, Friday, at 16h, New Source. Ecuador embarks towards Aberystwyth, in Rio Grande do Sul, and return to the field on Friday also at 19h at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, where he picks Honduras.

Reddish bleachers suggest a predilection to the shirt of the Swiss. But even the delay for the incoming twisted because of long queues enabled most of the chairs of the Mane Garrincha logo were painted in yellow. A yellow reminiscent and merges with the shirts of the national team, also scattered throughout the stadium. The little red was concentrated in a corner, squeezed, almost corner flag, and a block near the central area. Despite the variety of languages ​​of Switzerland, could only translate Spanish, syllable by syllable: "Come on, Ecuadorians! . This afternoon, we have to win "and insisted:" Sí, se puede ".

About iron hurts ...

Ecuadorians were believing, believing. Until Caicedo steal the ball from Von Bergen four minutes. The first "óóó" gave way to "aaah" when the attacker has not lived up to the move.Ball by the bottom line. But the Swiss know how to behave. It's cold. Is the number six ranking FIFA. Calmed tempers. As if each were a headset to forget what was happening in the stands bowed their dust and were in possession of the ball.

Ecuador, or "La Tri", the defense flinched. Was in the script. The coach Reinaldo Rueda, the day before, had warned: it is necessary to explore the counter-attacks. He knows that his squad have little experience in World Cups - only three of the members have played one - despite the average age being 27 years. Montero left in charge of being the little engine in linking defense to attack. Tried twice. In vain.

Then came the twist of fate: the Ecuadorian coach who both spoke about attention to set pieces on defense, saw Ayovi charging foul on head Enner Valencia, which is not the famous Manchester United open the scoring. The icy Switzerland shrugged. Pressure ball stop, shots from outside, defenses keeper. Gave 10 kicks against four of "La Tri", concluded the initial phase with 60% of possession. But suffered with a goal, something not very common, as in the last two World Cups, suffered only one in seven games.

Toe technical

It was enough to start the second half for the prior concern of technical Reinaldo Rueda justified. The Swiss ball stop really works. In the board game, Ottmar Hitzfeld knew better manage their parts. A bit of luck, it's true. Exchanged by Stocker Mehmedi. Gained a corner kick two minutes into the game. At the same left corner of press tribunes which suffered the goal Enner Valencia, came out charging and goal from whom? Mehmedi headed. The punctual European fans were already in their places to celebrate. Meanwhile the South American fans still seemed in climate interval, slowly returning to the bleachers.

Shaqiri, athlete Bayern Munich and main Swiss name, was responsible for thinking the game and find alternatives for the upset. Received some faults. Fruit of the desire to return to ahead of opponents. Without many alternatives, Ecuadorians agreed. Valencia sent Enner car glued to the beam. The numbers of the ball were equating. Turned the corner of faith: "Sí, se puede".Does not "puede" is sent to the network in an illegal position. And the goal of Drmic, which would upset for the Swiss, was canceled by dubious offside.

And there takes, takes over. Shaqiri went on the counterattack, almost scored. The goalkeeper Benaglio goes wrong the goal, Enner Valencia narrowly missed takes. Holy Von Berger, who was in the right place to save. A lack deflected into the barrier, Ecuadorians again scare. But the outcome was saved for the last bid. Ecuador had a chance to upset Arroyo. It took, tried to dribble, and was disarmed by Behrami. The Swiss was not satisfied and went on the attack.Led missing, fell, got up and followed the bidding. Pitched the deadly backlash that ended in goal upset, marked by Seferovic after crossing Rodríguez. Red Party in Brasilia.
