FIFA World Cup 2014: Ecuador vs Switzerland 9th Match in Pictures

A goal deep in stoppage-time by Haris Sef­e­r­ovic gave Switzerland a dramatic 2-1 victory over Ecua­dor in their Group E opener at the World Cup on Sunday.

A low-quality match loo­k­ed destined to end in a draw until substitute Seferovic fired home the winner from close range in the last of three minutes of injury time.

Ecuador barely had time to restart before the final whistle was blown.

It was the fifth time in nine matches so far at this World Cup that a team had come from behind to win.
