Qatar vs Ecuador
The two teams had faced each other three times, most recently in 2018, a 4–3 win for Qatar in a friendly game. This was their first competitive meeting. Ecuador had a disallowed goal in the opening minutes, but eventually won 2–0 with a brace by Enner Valencia. This is the third consecutive FIFA World Cup in which a player scores a brace at the opening match, after Brazil's Neymar in 2014 and Russia's Denis Cheryshev in 2018.[3] This was also the first time a penalty kick had been scored as the opening goal of a FIFA World Cup.[4] Additionally, Qatar became the first host nation to lose their opening match at a World Cup.[5][6]
