Oranje, weak against Ecuador in World Cup, draw 1-1
Soccer The Dutch national team managed only a 1-1 draw against Ecuador in the second match of the World Cup in Qatar.
Cody Gakpo scored for Orange in the sixth minute, but Ecuador disallowed a goal for offside just before half-time. Hener Valencia then scored for Ecuador in the 49th minute.
“We didn’t lose, that’s the important thing,” said coach Louis van Gaal after the game. ‘Now in possession he has to work on the game’

Oranje’s final games are against Qatar on Tuesday and Ecuador against Senegal.
