is coming off one of the best starts in his young career and will look to build
on that when the Toronto Blue Jays battle the struggling Boston Red Sox in game
two of their three game set at Fenway Park.Fridays action from Brazil concludes
with Ecuador and Honduras both looking for their first win at the 2014 World
Cup. Listen to Ecuador vs. Honduras LIVE at 6pm et/3pm pt on TSN Radio 1050
Toronto and TEAM 1410 Vancouver. Ecuador and Honduras will both be aiming to
bounce back after suffering defeats in their respective World Cup openers in
Group E play at the Arena da Baixada on Friday. Both sides enter the match
without a point, but the two teams arrived at that destination in very different
ways. Ecuadors 2-1 defeat to Switzerland came on a stoppage-time winner from
Swiss substitute Haris Seferovic, while Honduras was hammered 3-0 by France and
had Wilson Palacios sent off in the first half. There is no room for error for
either team in this game as the loser would be eliminated, and both must pick
themselves up after tough defeats to open the competition. Ecuador took the lead
in the contest in the 22nd minute through a goal from Enner Valencia as he
headed home a free kick. But Switzerland made the most of a set-piece chance of
its own and equalized early in the second half courtesy of Admir Mehmedi. The
match was there for the taking for either side in the second half, but just when
Ecuador seemed to be pressing for the winner, Switzerland hit on a counter
attack in the dying minutes to snatch the win on a well-worked piece of play
that resulted in Seferovic slamming home the winner from close range. "It was an
intense and evenly-matched game. Weve seen both teams perform to the best of
their ability," said Ecuador head coach Reinaldo Rueda, "We seemed to have thee
game under control, but what use is that if you end up losing? But thats
football, although we didnt deserve to lose.
Authentic Julius Thomas Jersey. Both teams
went looking for the win. We have to get this defeat out of our heads and get
ready to face two very strong opponents." That first opponent, Honduras, was
soundly beaten by France through two goals from Karim Benzema and an own goal
that brought goal-line technology into play. Benzema converted from the penalty
spot shortly before halftime to put France into the lead, while Honduras entered
the break with 10 men after Palacios received a second yellow card. At that
point it was mostly about damage control for head coach Luis Fernando Suarez and
his team, although he watched France add another goal in the 48th minute when a
shot from Benzema struck the post and was deflected into his own net by
goalkeeper Noel Valladares. Benzema then capped the match with another tally 18
minutes from time, leaving Suarez to hope that his side can learn from the
defeat and move forward. "It was a tough match, and they came through it better
than we did," Suarez said. "Weve got no regrets; they were simply better than us
on the day. There are certain aspects that well need to improve ahead of our
next game. Its difficult to overcome a team thats already up by a goal and is
capable of holding on to the ball so well. Well need to retain the lessons we
learned today." Honduras is still searching for its first win at a World Cup,
while Ecuador can give itself a chance at reaching the round of 16 for the
second time with three points on Friday.
