FIFA World Cup Qualifying Ecuador vs Colombia


FIFA World Cup Qualifying
Ecuador vs Colombia
16:00 ET

The locality of Colombia was not enough to contain the Charruas who passed over those led by Carlos Queiroz. Cavani, Suárez and Núñez entered the scoreboard and relegated Colombia to seventh place in the standings. As if that were not enough, the coffee growers also lost Yerry Mina, who was sent off for a double warning and will miss the duel in Quito against Ecuador.

A terrible result considering a positive start on the first double date, in which they beat Venezuela at home and then drew at the last minute against Chile, at the National Stadium. In total, the Colombians add four units in three games, ranking in seventh place.

Ecuador, for its part, has just beaten Bolivia 3-2 at the height of La Paz. El Tri knew how to overcome the war of goals with a penalty at the end of the game, which Carlos Gruezo capitalized against Carlos Lampe.

This result left the Ecuadorians in third place, with six points out of nine possible. A very hopeful and optimistic start for the team that has not attended a World Cup since Brazil 2014.
