The Netherlands and Ecuador clash in a high-profile Group A showdown at the World Cup today.

The Dutch toiled and tussled for a long while before finally putting Senegal away with two goals late on in their opener, and know they will have to again work hard to break down an Ecuador side that has now not conceded in seven games.

The two sides are meeting at a major tournament for the first time, with victory for either putting them in complete control of the group and leaving them on track to avoid a potential last-16 encounter with England.
