Ecuador goalscorer Carlos Tenorio warned that his side have achieved nothing, despite sealing a place in the last 16 at the World Cup finals with a 3-0 win over Costa Rica.

Tenorio netted for the second game in a row, as did Agustin Delgado, with Ivan Kaviedes putting a late seal on a convincing victory.

Ecuador made sure of a place on the knockout stages, sending hosts Germany through as well in the process.

However, Tenorio said afterwards: "We have not achieved anything yet, we want to go as far as we can.

"I'm so happy, this is a happiness that I cannot contain or even explain."

Ecuador coach Luis Suarez was looking no further forward than the final group game against Germany, adding: "It will be very difficult against Germany because the players are going to be tired.

"They played two games. They want to play a very good match against Germany. It will be a historic match.

Costa Rica coach Alexandre Guimaraes was left to rue a second defeat, commenting: "The game is like that, when you miss chances the other side have no mercy.

"That is the story for us in these two games."
