THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ecuador will feel vindicated after scoring two goals so soon after having one chalked off. Valencia’s club, Fenerbahce, took advantage of the attacker’s exploits, putting him into the famous picture of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo that was released a day before the competition.
