World Cup 2022: Enner Valencia nets third goal to earn draw for Ecuador against Netherlands

Ecuador captain, Enner Valencia was on target for his country for the third time on Friday evening in the game against the Netherlands in Group A.

The experienced attacker was the star for his country last Sunday when the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off.

In what was a game against Qatar, Enner Valencia bagged a sensational brace that inspired Ecuador to record a 2-0 win against the host nation.

Today, Enner Valencia started for his country when they locked horns with the Netherlands.

While his country will trail by a goal to nil at the end of the first half, he became the hero again in the second half.

Just four minutes after recess, he was presented with a good chance and scored to restore parity for Ecuador.

In a game that ended in a 1-1 stalemate, Netherlands equalised in the 6th minute of the first half

through Ghanaian attacker Cody Gakpo.

The forward who is representing the Dutch scored after he was assisted by Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen.

Courtesy of his goal today, Enner Valencia is now the top scorer at the 2022 FIFA World Cup with 3 goals.

He is followed by Dutchman Cody Gakpo who also has two goals.
