  Eduardo

  Not a performance this keeper will want to remember. Was caught in no man's land for the opening goal and was equally at fault for the own goal. Not a lot he could do about Caicedo's winner.

  Bruno Alves

  Poor display from the central defender as he failed to command a shaky Portuguese back line. Conceded a silly free kick in the first half with a woeful tackle and was outshone by debutant Neto.

  Fabio Coentrao

  Looked better going forward than he did in defence. Lovely bit of improvisation to set up Ronaldo and possibly should have scored himself.

  João Pereira

  You cannot help but feel sorry for him, but his own goal will be posted around the internet tomorrow. Awful lapse in concentration and also went missing at right-back for the visitors' opener.

  Neto

  The only bright point from Portugal's defensive display. Zenit's January signing will have done his prospects of a future call-up no harm with his assured display.

  Joao Moutinho

  Tried to pull the strings in midfield but was frustrated all night by a sturdy Ecuador defence. Managed to set up Coentrao but did not provide many other opportunities.

  Miguel Veloso

  Almost anonymous in the middle of the park as he left a lot of the work to fellow midfielders Moutinho and Meireles. Disappointing display.

  Nani

  Weaved his way down the right and left flanks a number of times and was pretty productive in comparison with his team-mates. Almost set up a goal within the opening minute and did well to assist Postiga.

  Raúl Meireles

  Tireless performance from the Chelsea man but, like Moutinho, struggled to produce the magic to get past the South American defence.

  Cristiano Ronaldo

  Got his goal on his 101st appearance in a Portugal shirt but would have liked more. A constant threat as ever and the home side lost their impetus when he left the field.

  Hélder Postiga

  Should have put his side ahead in the opening minute when connecting with the rebound from Ronaldo's effort. Made amends with easy finish from Nani's cross.

  Could not add to the work by Veloso and Moutinho in midfield to penetrate the South American's back line.

  The Braga striker was thrown up top but could not get on the end of any real chance to get a goal.

  Silvestre Varela

  The Porto striker was left frustrated by a lack of opportunities as his team-mates failed to provide him with sufficient service.

  Máximo Banguera

  Made a couple of quality saves in the opening minute to deny Ronaldo and Postiga. Not much he could do about either goal but was able to rely on a good defensive performance in front of him.

  Juan Carlos Paredes

  Had a few difficulties dealing with Ronaldo in the opening period but few wouldn't. The second goal came down his side but he was powerless to resist the trickery of Nani.

  G. Achilier

  Went missing early on when Portugal should have scored. Was able to form a strong centre-back partnership with Erazo after this.

  O. Bagui

  Strong performance on the left. Slow start as Nani showed him up for pace in the opening seconds but grew into the game after that along with the back four.

  Fricson Rafael Erazo

  Fantastic tackle to deny Nani in the first half when the tricky winger was clean through on goal. Looked solid at the back alongside Achilier as the hosts struggled to get on the end of crosses.

  Antonio Valencia

  Showed his class by producing at both ends of the pitch. Was able to open the scoring and help set up the third. As well as this he worked tirelessly to help out with defensive duties.

  Jefferson Antonio Montero

  Showed great pace to set up the opening goal and did well to pick out Valencia's run. Always looked a threat on the counterattack whenever La Tri got in possession.

  C. Noboa

  A player that had to work hard to contend with Portugal's trio in midfield, Noboa put in a decent shift that constantly disrupted the opposition's rhythm.

  S. Castillo

  Castillo's main role in the game was to disrupt opposition attacks and he succeeded to an extent, restricting the space afforded to the Portugal midfield.

  Felipe Caicedo

  Great strike to seal the victory. The striker was also instrumental in the own goal as his clipped ball caused panic in the hosts' defence.

  Christian Benítez

  The striker can be pleased with his performance as he formed a tricky partnership with Caicedo up top. Will have been disappointed not to add a fourth in stoppage time.

  R. Ibarra

  Looked to pounce on any chance late on to add a fourth on the break but never got a real sniff.
