Disappointing.
1 point is better than none but really should have won that game.

Yeah big result in that group. Whilst things could change I do think Ivory Coast has a better team than Ecuador. As you said will be very tough now to turn the tide in that group. Will need points against Germany to have a hope of getting through as 3rd in the group.Tough for Ecuador now. They are going to need to get something from the Germany game.
Ecuador's strength is absolutely in defence, they'll make it tough for teams to score. It's where majority of their better players are. They may be able to nick a 1-0 off Germany or something, but this result today definitely hurts them as Curacao are basically a free 3 points for all of them.CIV definitely looked more lethal in front of goal than Ecuador.
Considering 4 points is probably enough to go through now with the top 2 of each and the next best 8, they just need to win comfortably against curacao and nick a draw against germany. If they're playing them last and Germany have already qualified, might be easier as you'd imagine teams will rotate with progress secured.Ecuador's strength is absolutely in defence, they'll make it tough for teams to score.

Yeah, good point on if Germany are possibly using a weakened team by that point. Putting a score on Curacao would put them in prime spot to be a 3rd place team that goes through.Considering 4 points is probably enough to through now with the top 2 of each and the next best 8, they just need to win comfortably against curacao and nick a draw against germany.
