Comments and predictions for the Netherlands vs. Ecuador: "Lost" is hard to come by

The Netherlands completed the task in the opening match when they defeated Senegal with a score of 2-0 thanks to goals from Gakpo and Klaassen. Despite pocketing all 3 points, it would be reluctant to say that "Orange Lok" played well.

During the match, the Netherlands did not play the ball directly. They use too many crosses. However, the quality of the crosses from the Dumfries - Blind duo is very bad. It is worth mentioning that coach Luis van Gaal has no new cards when the home team shows signs of stalemate. Without Gakpo's shine, "Orange" would have faced a draw.

If the Netherlands plays monotonously and lacks creativity, Ecuador shows a variety of attack options. The South American team can both kick directly and score goals from side situations. This helped them to have a convincing 2-0 victory over Qatar.

With what has been shown, Ecuador can completely hold the Netherlands. It should be known that the South American team is on an 8 match unbeaten streak, 7 of which keep a clean sheet. The only goal they had to concede in the aforementioned series was against Argentina (draw 1-1).
