Ecuador interrupt the Dutch winning start
Ecuador followed their victory over Qatar by taking a point from the Netherlands. The draw kept both teams unbeaten after two matches and prevented the Dutch from settling qualification with a game to spare. It also left Ecuador's final meeting with Senegal carrying a straightforward consequence: the second knockout place was still contested.
