About 59 minutes into the game, Ecuador came very close to coming back against the Netherlands. A shot from Gonzalo Plata hit the crossbar and almost put the "Tri" ahead 2-1 in this round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
After Enner Valencia's goal, Ecuador has been an offensive machine in search of the comeback goal that would mean a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands. The "Tri" has found ways to damage the Dutch team, so they don't give up in the final minutes.
Exactly, Gonzalo Plata almost scared the Netherlands with a tremendous left-footed shot. The Ecuadorian forward positioned himself correctly after finding a loose ball in the area, but the ball ended up hitting the crossbar.
Goalkeeper Noppert could only watch the ball during its journey, but to his relief, it didn't manage to enter the goal. The Netherlands is still alive and hopes to recover in the remaining time of the match.
