Latest football commentary on Brazil vs Ecuador
Brazil coach Dorival Junior faced disappointment as his team crashed out of the Copa America in the United States in the quarterfinals. After an unimpressive group stage campaign that included one win and two draws, Brazil faced Uruguay in the quarterfinals and were eliminated on penalties. Despite not having a notable tournament, Dorival remained unbeaten in official matches, which will serve as a solid foundation for him in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Brazil are facing a World Cup qualifying challenge, having started their campaign with two wins and a draw against Venezuela, but then suffered three consecutive defeats against Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina. However, they will be confident as they prepare to host Ecuador, having not lost in their last 12 meetings.
Ecuador also suffered disappointment at the 2024 Copa America, being eliminated in the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout against Argentina. After finishing second in the group stage, La Tri drew 1-1 with Argentina but lost 4-2 on penalties. Felix Sanchez has left the coaching position, and Sebastian Beccacece, the former Elche coach, has been appointed to take charge of the team.
Beccacece takes over a team that is on a five-game unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying and currently sits above Brazil, despite being docked three points for fielding an ineligible player in their previous matches. Although Ecuador have not beaten Brazil since November 2004, they can be confident after not losing in their last two meetings. However, Brazil will be expected to take full advantage of their home advantage and take all three points and extend their unbeaten run in the head-to-head to 13 games.
