| 60 min: Dempsey’s shot is blocked … and then Bradley’s shot is over the bar! USA’s best move of the match. Wood went down the left, cut it back beautifully for Dempsey, but Erazo did well to get in the way, and then Bradley couldn’t make it count on the follow-up, from 30 yards. | |

| 58 min: Jones from distance, but it’s straight at Dreer. Larrea is on for his international debut. | |
| 2.30am BST | |
| 02:30 | |
| 57 min: Gruezo is carted off; Pedro Larrea is going to come in. | |

| 55 min: Not quite as stylish from Ecuador since the break. Gruezo is down, and we’ll take a break. | |
| 2.25am BST | |
| 02:25 | |
| 52 min: This is better from USA: the passing is crisper. Ramirez fouls Zusi on the right hand side, and Bradley swings it in, but it was too flat, and headed clear. | |
| 2.22am BST | |
| 02:22 | |
| 50 min: Whacked clear by a black shirt. Ecuador’s set pieces have been dross. | |
| 2.21am BST | |
| 02:21 | |
| 49 min: Oh, Mena! Great link-up between Valencia and Mena, but the latter wanted to check back on his left foot, and Bradley came back to cover. If Mena had run with it on his right, he was clean through on goal. Corner to Ecuador. | |
| 2.18am BST | |
| 02:18 | |
| 48 min: Nice pass from Bradley, and Wood just couldn’t quite take it on the left side, but he does enough to pressure Paredes into conceding a corner. Great ball in by Bradley, but Birnbaum and Dempsey get in each other’s way! And it rolls through to Dreer. | |

| 47 min: Looks like Bradley has dropped back into Beckerman’s midfield anchor role. Nagbe and Jones further forward. | |
| 2.16am BST | |
| 02:16 | |
| We're back! | |
| 46 min: And Klinsi has made changes. Bobby Wood is on for Gyasi Zardes, and Darlington Nagbe replaces Kyle Beckerman. | |
| And Alexander Dominguez can’t continue, so Esteban Dreer is in. | |

| Disappointing. Ecuador have been much slicker, and have worked the ball very nicely in the final third, but haven’t created all that much. USA have been ordinary, but they’re still level. See you shortly! | Disappointing. Ecuador have been much slicker, and have worked the ball very nicely in the final third, but haven’t created all that much.
