The World Cup opener brings fans a lot of expectations, after all, it is a football event once in 4 years, the host Qatar's active preparation, giving the outside world more expectations, and the myth of the host's undefeated debut is also to make the outside world have confidence in Qatar's upset, because Ecuador is not a world powerhouse, so Qatar is still expected to debut 3 points, but when returning to the reality of the game, it was instantly repelled by reality, from the perspective of the game, although the two sides are only 6 places apart, but the gap in performance on the field is completely two levels of teams, Ecuador was repressive from the start.

Although Qatar avoided the embarrassment of conceding a goal in 3 minutes by changing the decision, the strength of the strong team must finally be reflected in the game, only 10 minutes later, Ecuador completed the first goal of the World Cup, Valencia scored from the spot, and then the psychological defense of the Qatari team was broken, the gap in reality made the team dare not attack in a big way, and Ecuador still attacked according to the established tactics, and completed the first sports battle goal in 15 minutes, and the short time 2 goals once again made Qatar sober aware of the inadequacy, and the game lost suspense in advance. Ecuador collected freely, conserving strength in the second half and scoring three points for his debut with two goals.

It is worth mentioning that the performance after the arrival of the first goal, unlike before, Valencia did not celebrate wildly after the goal, but ran to the corner flagpole with his teammates, all kneeling, pointing his fingers to the sky, there are 10 players, it is not difficult to see that this action was thought of by Valencia before the game, and as long as it is a goal, it is necessary to achieve this wish. After the match, according to people familiar with the matter, the main reason for kneeling was to celebrate the memory of Benitez, who played for the Ecuadorian national team and played in the 2006 World Cup.

However, unfortunately happened in July 2013, the 27-year-old Benitez made his debut after joining the new Qatari club, but left the next day due to a heart attack, and coincidentally, Valencia, the hero of the "score" in this game, happened to take Benitez in place, so Valencia was grateful for his predecessors, and the fans were even moved to tears.

Valencia rose to fame after scoring three goals in the 2014 World Cup, and now has scored two goals in a single World Cup game, becoming Ecuador's top attacker and drawing on the strength of its predecessors, so it is not difficult to understand the way to refuse to celebrate.
