Germany Vs Ecuador


Update 20/6/2006 at 9 am Malaysia time.

Germany 3 - 0 Ecuador
The match:
4': After early half-chances at both ends, the hosts took hold of the game with a goal inside five minutes. A looping cross from the left from Per Mertesacker was cut back across the face of goal by Bastian Schweinsteiger and buried from eight yards by Klose to tie the Werder Bremen man with Spain’s Fernando Torres as Germany 2006's top scorer with three goals. (0-1)
19': With the previously impressive South Americans unable to muster much resistance, the Germans sliced them wide open once again. This time, Philipp Lahm's raid up the left channel ended in a whipped-in cross for Bernd Schneider at the back post. However, the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder's well-struck volley flashed over the crossbar to groans from the home faithful.
25': Not long after, a fine chipped through-ball from Schneider picked out the energetic Klose racing into the box. Ecuador goalkeeper Cristian Mora, however, raced off his line to deny the onrushing striker what would have been his second of the match.
33': In an almost identical move, another lofted ball from Schneider found the foot of Klose once again, only for the striker's viciously struck volley to fly over the bar. With time ticking down in the first half, the Ecuadorians were just hanging on.
44': As it transpired, they could not make it to the interval without conceding again. Michael Ballack’s brilliant flicked pass picked out Klose, who overpowered his marker before rounding Mora and slotting into the open net. (0-2)
Podolski off the mark51': The Germans came out in the second half intent on picking up where they had left off in the first. Ecuador did, though, manage to stamp some authority on the match. Luis Valencia's fierce tackle on Ballack in midfield earned him a yellow card and a stern talking-to from referee Valentin Ivanov.
53': Just a few seconds later, the German response almost yielded a goal as Lahm picked out Podolski, who clipped a low shot just past the far post.
57’: The youngster made amends for his near-miss just seconds later as a brilliant counterattack led to another German goal. Turning defence into attack in a matter of seconds, Schneider crossed from the right to pick out the sliding Podolski, who made no mistake, poking the ball just inside the back post. (0-3)
66': Giovanny Espinoza tried his luck from distance after a rare Ecuadorian break, Jens Lehmann in the German goal was barely troubled, however, and palmed the ball over with a minimum of fuss.
72': A free-kick from 20 yards was the next decent chance the Ecuadorians conjured, with Edison Mendez's swerving effort just failing to dip under the crossbar.
Colours for the game
Ecuador: Yellow shirts, blue shorts, red socks
Germany: White shirts, black shorts, white socks .
Pertemuan yang pasti menarik dan bakal keluarnya aksi ganas para pemain antara kedua-dua pasukan. Aku sebagai peminat Pasukan Germany akan tetap menyokong pasukan Germany hingga mencapai kemenangan...Cheeeewahh... Tapi walau apapun the best team at the match will be the winner. Masa tengok perlawanan antara Ecuador dengan Costa Rica tempohari cukup buat peminat-peminat pasukan Germany seperti aku ni terketaq sikit lutut... Ecuador bermain dengan amat cantik untuk membenam pasukan Costa Rica dengan 3 gol tanpa balas. Setelah menang dua perlawanan dengan 5 gol dijaringkan tanpa bolos, Ecuador menduduki tangga teratas Kumpulan A, sambil Germany di tempat kedua. Pemain Ecuador yang paling mencuri tumpuan dunia ketika ini ialah pemain yang memakai jersi No. 21 Carlos Tenorio dan jersi No. 11. Agustin Delgado. Kedua-dua pemain ini telah menjaringkan 2 gol. Satu gol setiap perlawanan.
Jika mengikut ranking semasa FIFA, Germany berada di kedudukan ke 19 dunia, sambil Ecuador pula di tangga ke 39. Tapi rasanya kedudukan tersebut tidak menunjukkan apa-apa yang bakal terjadi dalam pertemuan antara kedua-dua pasukan. Kedua-dua pasukan ini, Germany dan Ecuador, masing-masing ingin mengelak bertemu pasukan England yang di jangka menduduki tangga pertama Kumpulan B.
Germany seperti yang diketahui, prestasi naik turun pasukan ini pasti menjadi keresahan di hati peminat mereka. Memandangkan pasukan yang bakal di temui ialah Ecuador yang memang kuat dan cantik permainan mereka, diharapkan Germany dapat menonjolkan kekuatan sebenar mereka. Aku juga berharap agar Michael Ballack tidak bermain menentang Ecuador ni nanti. Kemasukan Michael Ballack ketika menentang Poland tempohari tidak banyak membantu pasukan Germany, sebaliknya hanya menambah kad kuning. Para peminat Germany mengharapkan sentuhan penyudah Miroslave Klose, Bastian Schwansteiger dan Philip Lahm agar Germany mendapat tempat pertama di Kumpulan A. Apa-apa pun kita tunggu perlawanan mereka nanti.
