notes: |
Ashley Cole won his fiftieth cap, all have come under Eriksson's reign. David Beckham's goal was his second from a free kick at
the World Cup. Only four other players have achieved that feat before:
Pele and Roberto Rivelino (both Brazil), Teofilo Cubillas (Peru) and
Bernard Genghini (France). Beckham is the first ever English player to
have scored at three different World Cups, in 1998, 2002 and 2006 (one
goal at each). Beckham's free kick was the 63rd in the history of the
World Cup and the sixth in 2006. Only three World Cups have seen more
goals from free kicks than in 2006. The record is nine set in 2002. It
is England's 25th successful direct free-kick, and Beckham's sixth. Argentina
were the only team ever to have scored against
England at this stage. In other second round matches, England beat
Paraguay 3-0 in 1986, Belgium 1-0 in 1990, Denmark 3-0 in 2002 and now
Ecuador 1-0. |

Match Report
(Mike Payne's exclusive report coming shortly) |
David Beckham became the first England player to
score at three World Cups as his free-kick earned a quarter-final tie
against Portugal or Netherlands.
Beckham beautifully curled home from 30 yards on the hour mark, but
England made hard work of Ecuador. The South Americans could have
gone in front early on, Carlos Tenorio's shot deflecting off Ashley Cole
and on to the bar after John Terry's mistake. Frank Lampard missed
two fine chances but England had done enough to win.
Again Eriksson will point to a job done, but
again it was an England display which will produce more questions than
answers. Playing a 4-1-4-1 formation with Wayne Rooney up front
alone, England looked comfortable and clumsy in equal measure on a strange
afternoon in Stuttgart.
Yet they started off by doing the sensible thing
in the stifling heat, with Michael Carrick at the hub as they passed the
ball around and made Ecuador do the running. However, the first
genuine chance fell to the South Americans and after an error by John
Terry they came agonisingly close to taking the lead. Terry
completely mis-timed a headed clearance and the ball fell to Carlos
Tenorio to run clean through, the striker's fierce shot crashing off the
bar thanks to a fine sliding block from Ashley Cole.
It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance from England
- one minute keeping the ball with ease, the next giving it away and
inviting pressure on to them. Rooney cut an isolated figure as
England put more effort into not conceding than scoring but they still
looked shaky at the back, as Rio Ferdinand nearly put through his own net
and Terry was cautioned for a neck-high tackle on Carlos Tenorio.
The decision to play Carrick in the holding role
gave England a better base to build from, but Lampard and Gerrard were not
getting forward enough to give the increasingly frustrated Rooney some
much-needed support.
The 20-year-old could only look on with envy at
the other end as Carlos Tenorio and Agustin Delgado hunted as a pair,
causing Terry and Ferdinand to lose their usual composure.
Gerrard took it upon himself to improve things
after the break as he bombed forward from the left, only to see his centre
run across the six-yard line with no England player in sight. When
the breakthrough came, it was like travelling back in time to 2001 when
Beckham was at the very peak of his powers. He sized up the
opportunity from 30 yards, wonderfully whipped the ball over the wall and
towards the bottom corner and saw it creep past Cristian Mora at his near
post.
Lampard twice had chances straight after to
double the lead, first dragging a left-foot shot wide then failing to find
Rooney in the box when he should have shot himself. He missed a
sitter with 17 minutes left too, blazing over from 14 yards after some
sensational skill from Rooney by the left touchline. Fortunately, it
made no difference. England, for the second time under Eriksson, have
reached the last eight of the World Cup finals. - BBC Sport
