Ecuador are trying to go back to their best level under coach Gustavo Alfaro, who’s not precisely an offensive specialist. However, he’s savvy and smart enough to bring the best out of this group.

La Tri did a solid job ofkeeping Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez in check during their first game of the qualifiers but struggled to get anything going in the final third of the pitch for most of the clash.

Uruguay hit the ground running vs. quite a tough rival in their first game of the qualifiers. Chile’s speedsters gave their defense a handful but they were still able to hold their ground and get a 2-1 win.

Led by an inspired and determined Luis Suárez up front and their historical grit-and-grind “La Garra Charrúa”, Oscar Tabárez’s team will always be a huge menace for the rest of the South American nations.
