Still behind at half-time, Switzerland needed more offense and brought Admir Mehmedi into the match. Right away Mehmedi helped his country by scoring the equalizer. Left-back Ricardo Rodriguez delivered a corner-kick into the box and Mehmedi scored with a head right in front of goal (48').
Then with about fifteen minutes left in the match Switzerland swapped strikers and replaced the ineffective Josip Drmic for a fresh Haris Seferovic. On a counter-attack in the closing moments of the game Rodriguez again setup a substitute for a crucial goal. Rodriguez rolled a cross to the near-post to connect with Seferovic who scored with his first touch (90 +3').
It was a tight match in the closing moments of regulation and Ecuador had their chances to retake the lead. Unfortunately their best chance was denied and ended up leading to the counter-attack goal at the other end. France and Honduras are the other two teams in Group E and will play later today.
