Ecuador's supporters crossed their fingers, but Luis Andino was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some careless play in the Leeton United FC defense, Daniel Zorita kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Erlend Sørby.
