QUITO, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Thousands of euphoric Ecuadoreans celebrated on Sunday in various cities around the South American nation after the country's historic victory against host nation Qatar in the opening game of the soccer World Cup. The game marked the first time a host nation had been beaten in a World Cup opener. "We are one Ecuador, we are one fist and wherever the team is, we have to support it." "It was exciting to see our team win," said Hugo Pena, a 35-year-old taxi driver, as he celebrated on one of Guayaquil's main streets. The first round of Group A games will be completed on Monday with the game between the Netherlands and Senegal.
