copied from LA HORA website:

Con una buena actuación Ecuador inició su participación en la Copa Mundial de Alemania 2006, en el estadio Arena Auf Schalke de Gelsenkirchen. Carlos Tenorio y Agustín Delgado fueron los autores de los goles ‘Tricolores’.

La victoria inundó de alegría no sólo a los cerca de 10 mil aficionados que llegaron al escenario, sino a los 13 millones de ecuatorianos. También se reportó festejos desde España, donde reside una gran cantidad de compatriotas.

El técnico de Ecuador, el colombiano Luis Fernando Suárez, manifestó al final del partido que “se ha dado sólo el primer paso hacia un objetivo claro, que es pasar a la segunda ronda”.

Delgado fue designado como el mejor jugador del partido y la FIFA le entregó un trofeo por su desempeño.

El presidente del Ecuador, Alfredo Palacio, quien observó el fútbol con algunos Ministros en un hotel de Guayaquil envió una efusiva felicitación a la delegación nacional.

Ecuas are giving away too many corners and Polskas are taller then ecuas...they better be careful

You obviously don't know our Ecau. Players, since only 2 players are actually a bit shorter then the rest of the team, the team is about 6 feet tall, just 2 are sighlty shorter.

Althou Poland did get tons of corner shots & lets say they were taller, they STILL got their A$$ kicked.

Unos 5.000 ecuatorianos vibran en Madrid: La comunidad celebra el triunfo de la selección frente a Polonia

Unos 5.000 ecuatorianos vibran en Madrid
La comunidad celebra el triunfo de la selección frente a Polonia
EFE - Madrid
ELPAIS.es - Deportes - 09-06-2006

Unos 5.000 ecuatorianos, reunidos en el Pabellón de Vista Alegre de Madrid, vibraron hoy con su selección nacional de fútbol en su triunfante debut en el Mundial de Alemania, en el que se impuso a Polonia por 2-0. "Sí se puede, sí se puede", gritaba incansable durante el partido la nutrida representación de la colonia ecuatoriana en la capital de España -el principal colectivo inmigrante, con cerca de 185.000 personas-, que este viernes se vistió con los colores de la bandera nacional para apoyar en la distancia a los hombres que entrena Luis Fernando Suárez.

La muchedumbre ha celebrado la victoria, con el entusiasmo de un pequeño país que trata de superar el papel que hizo en su primera participación en un campeonato del Mundo, hace cuatro años en Corea y Japón, lleno de orgullo, un joven llamado León. Hombres, mujeres, niños, familias enteras se dieron cita en la antigua plaza de toros de Vista Alegre, hoy cancha de los equipos punteros de baloncesto de Madrid, para vivir una noche memorable y, de paso, hacer patria.

Desde las gradas o desde el piso de la cancha, una imparable marea amarilla saltó y cantó, con la mirada puesta en la pantalla gigante de 25 metros cuadrados que llevó hasta el recinto madrileño las imágenes del partido que Ecuador disputó en un no menos colorido AufShalke Arena de la ciudad alemana de Gelsenkirchen. La voz de los locutores que retransmitían el partido quedó siempre en segundo plano, cubierta por los gritos de un animador que, por la megafonía, no cesó de alentar a la concurrida colonia ecuatoriana.

Los nervios iniciales, como los que mostraba una orgullosa mujer embarazada con la tricolor pintada en su vientre al aire, se fueron tensando hasta que en el minuto 23 de la primera parte el certero cabezazo de Tenorio a la red polaca, en una jugada ensayada de estrategia, disparó la alegría en las gradas.

Nada pudo parar ya la alegría desenfrenada en este histórico recinto del barrio madrileño de Carabanchel y sólo dos disparos a los postes del combinado polaco en las postrimerías del juego hicieron palpitar más de la cuenta el corazón de los inmigrantes ecuatorianos que residen en la capital española.

Ecuador upsets Poland

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) - Ecuador proved to be World Cup worthy far away from the comforts - and high altitude - of home.

Agustin Delgado set up a first-half goal Friday and added his own in the 80th minute to quiet the boisterous pro-Poland crowd with a 2-0 victory in the teams' Group A opener.

Their credentials questioned because seven of their eight qualifying wins came more than 2,700 metres above sea level in Quito, Ecuador got off to strong start near sea level in its second World Cup.

"Ecuador was always criticized and what they were saying about Ecuador was you can only win when you're playing at a very high altitude," coach Luis Suarez said. "But despite the atmosphere and the low altitude, we managed to win."

Ecuador did a good job protecting the lead they got from Carlos Tenorio's goal in the 24th minute. Captain Ivan Hurtado and Neicer Reasco helped thwart the few chances the Poles got, although Poland hit the goalpost twice in the final minutes.

Delgado then put the game away late. Edison Mendez slid a pass to Ivan Kaviedes, who beat an offside trap and fed Delgado alone in the front of the net for the easy score.

Starting the game with Maciej Zurawski as the lone striker, Poland didn't test goalkeeper Cristian Mora at all. Even the substitution of a second forward, Ireneusz Jelen, in the 68th minute didn't help the Poles, who didn't have a shot on goal until the 84th minute.

Ecuador is tied with Germany atop Group A. The hosts beat Costa Rica 4-2 earlier Friday. Ecuador, which lost its first two games on its way to first-round elimination in its World Cup debut four years ago, plays Costa Rica next Thursday.

"This was a great result. We achieved our expectations," Suarez said. "But this is just a step. The mountain is great. This is just the first step for Ecuador in this World Cup."

Thousands of Polish fans made the trip to Germany, where the team won the 1972 Olympic gold medal and finished third in the 1974 World Cup. They draped the stadium in a sea of red and white, making it feel more like Warsaw than Gelsenkirchen.

But this proved to be another disappointing start to a World Cup for the Poles, who lost 2-0 to co-host South Korea in the opener in 2002 and were eliminated in the first round. With a matchup against host Germany - a team it has never beat in 14 tries - coming next Wednesday, Poland needs to sharpen up quickly or could become a first-round casualty again.

Poland controlled the play early, fuelled by a partisan crowd chanting "Poland! Poland" throughout. But the Poles squandered a few promising free kick opportunities and weren't able to test Mora, playing with Ecuadorean flags painted on each cheek.

Ecuador silenced the earsplitting noise in the semi-enclosed stadium with a nifty goal in the 24th off a throw in.

Ulises de la Cruz threw the ball into the box from the left sideline and Delgado flicked it backward to the middle to an onrushing Tenorio, who headed it past Artur Boruc.

"Unfortunately, the first goal destroyed our tactical considerations right from the start," Poland coach Pawel Janas said. "This was really a blow to us. It was difficult to get out of that situation."

Delgado and Tenorio nearly hooked up again a few minutes later when Tenorio tiptoed along the end line before setting up Delgado in front of the goal. Delgado's shot, however, went high.

The Polish fans, who appeared to be on good behaviour despite fears of hooliganism, began singing and cheering when their team walked out onto the field about two hours before the game.

With a much longer distance for their fans to travel, Ecuador didn't have nearly the support in Germany, with most of its fans in one corner of the stands. But President Alfredo Palacio gave everyone back home a half-day off Friday to watch
