Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia has embarrassed the legendary duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi with his goals in the "Qatar 2022" World Cup. The 33-year-old Ecuadorian reached his third goal in the tournament after scoring twice against the Qatari team and another goal against the Netherlands. According to the statistics network "Opta," no player has scored more goals than Valencia in the World Cup since the 2014 Brazil edition.
Despite not participating in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Valencia's goals place him on equal footing with Ronaldo and Messi, who have also scored 6 goals during the same period in the group stages of the last three World Cups. It is noteworthy that Valencia's goal eliminated Qatar officially from the tournament before the final round, as the match against the Netherlands ended in a 1-1 draw.
According to the statistics network "Squawka," Valencia is the scorer of the last 6 goals recorded by Ecuador in the World Cup. Additionally, the 33-year-old has become the first player in World Cup history to score 6 consecutive goals for a South American team.
