The World Cup 2022 kicked off at 12:00 midnight Hong Kong time tonight (20th).
Qatar, the host country of Group A, had a bad start, with a net loss of 0:2 against Ecuador in South America.
Enner Valencia, the captain of the Ecuadorian team who played for West Ham, scored two goals.
The two armies had a total of 11 shots.
Ecuador scored 3 of 6 shots and scored 2 goals, and the Cajun 5 shots were "no feet", which reflected everything.

It was rumored before the game that there was a "false wave" in this game. The host Qatar would score in the second half and win a small 1-0 victory.
Qatar is ready to go to meet the country's first World Cup final week. The main lineup is different from the main lineup that won the 2019 Asian Cup final.
However, as soon as the game started with a free throw, it was up and down.
Qatar goalkeeper Eschabi made a mistake, but Ecuador's goal was disallowed because Eschada (No. 11) was slightly offside.

Qatar's goalkeeper conceded a goal in the air and was saved by VAR
Ecuador sent the ball into the net in just 3 minutes.
A free throw into the penalty area caused confusion, Qatar's Saad Al Sheeb and Ecuador's Félix Torres hit the air, Micheal Estrada added a header Torres volleyed back to the small penalty area, and Anna Valencia headed into the empty goal.
However, VAR pointed out that Eshubi went out to fight for the ball with Torres, and Micheal Estrada's calf was offside, so the goal was disallowed.

Ana Valencia scores twice in the first half to seal Ecuador's victory
After Ecuador's "cheat", it continued to press down on the border, causing chaos in Qatar's defense, and finally opened the record in 16 minutes.
Valencia entered the penalty area and was blocked by Aisabi. He was sentenced to 12 yards and scored the target himself.
He made another contribution in the 31st minute. He responded to Angelo Preciado's cut from the right at 12 yards.
Valencia only scored twice in the first half.

Qatar was disorganized and had difficulty even dribbling the ball to the penalty area of Ecuador. They only scored 2 shots that missed the target in the half.
They had a golden chance before half-time, when Almoez Ali's 6-yard point was left unattended, but his header missed and turned into a group of faces and went out of bounds.
Qatar fell behind by two goals and returned to the locker room.
Amos Ali missed a good chance to score and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.

Qatar's weak counterattack broke the record with 10 shots
Ecuador continued to "watch and eat" in the second half, keeping the victory, keeping the ball at their feet and not rushing in, making it difficult for Qatar to find space.
In addition, Qatar's transmission is rough, and it is often controlled after passing the ball.
Qatar's reserve striker Mohammed Muntari (Mohammed Muntari) responded to the assault in the 85th minute, and Worley volleyed just over.
Qatar ended up with a net loss of two goals, becoming the first host country team to lose in the first game.
In addition, the two sides had a total of 11 shots in this game, which is the least shot in the finals week since statistics were available in 1966, one less than the previous group match between Colombia and Senegal.
Qatar trailed by two goals at halftime, and some fans left the field early, leaving many empty benches.

Qatar's offense and defense are poor, a gap that cannot be made up by geographical advantages
Judging from the data, neither side stands out in this battle, and it depends on the situation of the battle to see whether it is high or low.
Qatar was obviously quite nervous in the early stage. Goalkeeper Aishabi came out to meet the chickens and ducks, and the defenders were also quite chaotic. Sometimes they lined up but the middle door was wide open.
The second conceded goal was defender Lulu (Ro-Ro) who "ignored" Valencia just looking at the waves, and was easily pushed in by him.
Ecuador scored the second goal, and Valencia performed like a header, which was far too far for Qatar's defense to "dream".

Offensive organization is a bigger problem than defense.
When falling behind in the first half, the opponent's ball was intercepted in the backcourt, and the short pass of two or three kicks seemed to be "wonderful".
They lost possession of the ball 8 times in this battle, fully twice as many as their opponents.
Even if short passes are made to teammates, not only will there be many mispasses, but the players will also control the ball from time to time, making possession of the ball a "hospital wave".
This is the case against Ecuador, but the situation will only get worse when they face Senegal in the next game, and even the Netherlands in the final game.
The worst result of the host country in history was South Africa in 2010, and the group was eliminated with a win and a loss.
Qatar behaved like this, losing all at any time, even without scoring a goal.
The rumors of false waves are just rumors, and the geographical advantage cannot make up for the gap in Qatar's strength, which is the reality.

On the other hand, Ecuador held a two-goal advantage in the second half. Seeing that Qatar's organization was mediocre and their grasp was lacking, they were content with defense.
They were helped by opening the scoring early, establishing a solid position and winning easily. They seemed to perform well, but their pass success rate was not much better.
The outside world regards them as the third force in Group A, and it is indeed yet to be tested.
