And that's that. Both teams still have a chance to go through, although they remain very slim, despite Swizterland's absolute shoeing earlier. It was a surprisingly good game, really, and I think we'd have been forgiven for expecting it to be a stinker. Thanks for reading, and goodnight.
90+2'
The substitute Gruezo breaks free and after a few bounces in the box he appears to force it goalwards, but it's ruled out by the officials for an offside. Afterwards, a Honduras long ball finds only the goalkeeper. That might be it.
89'
Ecuador are doing their very best to waste time here, and it's been annoucned that we'll have four extra minutes for Honduras to try and find something.
86'
Honduras throwing everything at Ecuador here. A low cross evades everybody in the area, but when it's eventually worked back to Figueroa - who has been very quiet - he lashes a thunderous effort which only just flies over.

There will be 118 minutes of injury time. That's extraordina- oh, no, sorry, it's a substitution. Edison Mendez replaces Felipe Caicedo.
80'
Montero drives into the area on the counter but Maynor Figueroa denies him with an excellent tackle. It's a very tense ending here.
79'
Costly and Espinoza combine on the attack, but the latter blazes wide from range. They need to show a bit more patience than that, although they're throwing everything forward. Espinoza is virtually playing as a striker.
77'
Espinoza tries to find Costly with a decent cross, but it's headed behind for a corner. Everyone back for Ecuador.
75'
Honduras are forcing Ecuador deeper and deeper here, but they don't look like they've quite got enough left in the tank to force an equaliser. But they have at least fifteen minutes to find one.
73'
Martinez of course will be lining up alongside Jorge Claros. More on him here. I really cannot recommend this tweet enough. That is staggering.

Change for Honduras. Garrido off, Martinez on.
67'
Surely it can't last until the knockout stages. It has been a great tournament so far. We've even had a fantastic 0-0.

GOAL! GOOOOOOOOLLLLL! Enner Valencia again! Told you. It's Ayovi who provides though, drilling in a perfect cross for Valencia at the back post and now Ecuador have turned it around and lead. Honduras aren't out of this even if they lose, although they'd need a minor miracle.
61'
Honduras go tiki-taka as they work the ball into the area and get it into the net after some good work from Espinoza, but it's correctly ruled out for offside. One goal may just be enough to win this one.
59'
57'
Felipe Caicedo uses his strength to burst into the area and goalwards, and he appears to be felled by a wild tackle, but on replay there was very little, if any contact. Ecuador get the corner, but it comes to nothing.
54'
The corner's pinged in and cleared to Paredes, who whacks in a cross for a second corner, which comes to nothing.
53'
Montero has done nothing so far but he turns on the afterburners here, storming down the left, but he's tackled and earns just a corner.
51'
If there's going to be a goal from Ecuador, it looks likely to be the same combination as the first, Enner Valencia and Paredes. They've been by far the most dangerous players for their side.

There's a change for Honduras - Emiliano Izaguirre is off, Juan Carlos Garcia takes his place.
