The South American side have taken the lead in the opening match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Ecuador had a great break on goal which ended up being headed off the line by the Qatari defence, but before he could get the pass away to the other striker, keeper Al-Sheeb pulled down the Ecuadorian, receiving a yellow card in the process.
Valencia calmly put the ball home and slotted it into the bottom right corner, sending the home keeper the wrong way.
