Switzerland trounce Ecuador 10-1 in Women’s World Cup
Vancouver: Switzerland trounced Ecuador 10-1 for its first victory in Group C of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Following their 0-6 defeat to Cameroon, the South American team were thrashed again while the Swiss bounced back from a 0-1 loss to Japan in the first round to keep alive its hope of qualifying for the knockout stage on Friday, as per reports.
Despite the huge gap in scoreline, Ecuador put up some real resistance in the first half. After an Angie Ponce own goal handed Switzerland a 1-0 lead, Eseosa Aigbogun scored just before the break to make it 2-0.
The second half was dominated by Switzerland as Fabienne Humm and Ramona Bachman both completed hat-tricks and Martina Moser also got on the scoreboard.
Ecuador’s Angie Ponce had a hat-trick, too, at the BC Place Stadium, but two of the goals were own goals for the opposition.
Nevertheless, the 18-year-old defender hit her country’s first World Cup goal when she converted a 64th-minute penalty.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
