Ecuador 3 - Chile 1

We picked a good time to be in Ecuador, yesterday it was their world cup qualifier against Chile which we watched in the Foch Plaza in the 'New Town' a short walk from where we're staying. 

It was a great game to watch as a neutral, the game opened with a superb strike by Ecuador... into Chile's goal, it was an excellent OG! 

Then there was a penalty, not a great one as the keeper saved it, but he should have caught it rather than batting it away as Ecuador scored from the rebound. 

There was a sending off in the final 15 minutes and a goal scored in the final minute of added time.

I'm told that the Chilleans will put their loss down to the altitude (they always do when they lose, never do when they win).
