  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Ecuador winning 0% of all matches.
  • 28' Seko Fofana picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 40' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Guela Doue.
