The match between Ecuador - Senegal in Group A of the 2022 World Cup. The match takes place at 10:00 p.m. on November 29.
Ecuador, after a 2-0 victory over host Qatar, excellently held the Netherlands to a 1-1 draw. This was a match in which Ecuador were torn at a very early age but played resiliently and was rewarded with a goal to level the score by Valencia.
With this result, Ecuador has the same 4 points as the Netherlands and shared the top 2 positions in Group A. Because the Netherlands is almost certain to win a ticket to the next round thanks to only meeting Qatar in the final match, Ecuador and Senegal will fight together for the remaining ticket.
With the current situation, Ecuador only needs a draw to continue, while Senegal must win to get a ticket to the knockout round.
The South American team is also on a 9-match unbeaten streak, including against tough opponents like Argentina or the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, Senegal is not highly appreciated as their number 1 star, Sadio Mane, is at home due to injury. At the 2022 World Cup, Senegal also had a bitter taste when they lost 0-2 to the Netherlands. The fact that they have 3 points in hand is partly due to Qatar being too weak and inexperienced.
Expected lineup:
Ecuador: Galindez; Porozo, Torres, Hincapie; Preciado, Mendez, Caicedo, Estupinan; province, Estrada, Valencia.
Senegal: Mendy; Sabaly, Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs; Sarr, Mendy, Gueye, Diatta; Diedhiou, Dia.
