Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Ecuador welcome Curaçao for this crunch clash at Arrowhead Stadium.
  • 5' Ecuador seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' Pedro Vite has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Jearl Margaritha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ecuador that had 15 games and scored 14 goals.
  • 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Ecuador must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 30' Ecuador are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Curaçao backline.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Curaçao needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' It’s a booking for Ecuador player. Jordy Alcivar gets a card.
  • 39' Leandro Bacuna has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 39.

  • 56' Controversy at the stadium! Livano Comenencia argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 61' Livano Comenencia is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Curaçao so far.
  • 66' It looks surprising Ecuador does not make any changes. Pervis Estupinan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
