Ecuador face France in Group E, as the Ecuadorians hope to maintain their second position in the group to advance to the knockout stages. 

After a scoreless first half, things heated up a bit in the second. 

First Antoine Griezmann was narrowly denied due to a fantastic save from Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez.

Then Antonio Valencia was sent off, rightfully, for an extremely reckless challenge against Lucas Digne.
