Ecuador seek redemption as Curaçao face early exit
Ecuador aim to reignite their World Cup campaign against debutants Curaçao, who must avoid defeat to prevent a premature elimination from Group E.
Ecuador enter this fixture looking to recover from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Ivory Coast, a result that ended a remarkable 19-match unbeaten run. Despite dominating large periods and missing several chances, Sebastián Beccacece’s side were undone by a late strike. After qualifying second in CONMEBOL behind Argentina, La Tri are heavy favourites to secure their first win of the tournament.
Curaçao’s World Cup debut was a baptism of fire, suffering a 7-1 defeat to Germany. While Dick Advocaat’s side briefly drew level at 1-1, they became only the second team in history to concede seven goals in their opening World Cup match. They are now playing for survival; another loss, combined with Ivory Coast avoiding defeat against Germany, would see the island nation eliminated.
