Ecuador and Argentina are preparing for an exciting match in the quarterfinals of the Copa América 2024. This match, which will be played on July 4, in Houston, promises to be a vibrant duel full of emotions.
Argentina is a clear favorite to advance to the semifinals of the Copa América, even the history between the two teams favors Argentina. Ecuador, for its part, will not make it easy for the Argentines.
Ecuadorian national team coach Félix Sánchez has a formidable squad; however, he will be without defender Pervis Estupiñán who is one of the references in the defense of the team.
