Brasilia: Switzerland came back from a goal down to beat Ecuador 2-1 with an injury time goal in the Group E opener of the FIFA World Cup at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia here Sunday.

Two substitutes - Admir Mehmedi (48th minute) and Haris Seferovic (93rd) - cancelled out Enner Valencia's opener in the 22nd minute.

It seemed the 2014 World Cup finals would see its first draw but Seferovic slotted in Ricardo Rodriguez's grounded cross 30 seconds from the final whistle to gives the Swiss a win.

Switzerland, ranked sixth in the world, held more possession but their South American counterparts were dangerous on the counter.
