Tactical Analysis

Their CONMEBOL qualifying defensive record was `conceding only 4 goals in 18 matches` — one of the best in South America.

Ecuador's strength is structural: hard to break down, dangerous on set pieces, `Enner Valencia` as a reference point.The attacking core — `Sébastien Haller and Nicolas Pépé` — gives them the higher ceiling in open play, but the Elephants have historically been vulnerable in transitions against physical South American sides.
