Ecuador 2, Poland 0

In perhaps a minor upset, Ecuador edged Poland 2-0. Poland, which has a history of starting slowly at the World Cup, looked uninspired and toothless. Goals from Carlos Tenorio and Agustin Delgado gave the South Americans the win and the early edge for the second spot in Group B. The Poles finally came to life in the waning minutes, twice hitting the, um, poles. But that's what they get for mailing in the first 85 minutes.

Goal scorers:

Carlos Tenorio ('24), Ecuador (1-0)
Agustin Delgado ('80), Ecuador (2-0)
