STORYLINE:
Ecuadorians followed Tuesday’s crucial match between their national team and Peru with bated breath, a hard-fought 0–0 draw that secured their place in the 2026 World Cup.
Cheers erupted across bars and streets in the capital, Quito, first in the 51 minute, when Nilson Angulo broke through the Peruvian defense to score what appeared to be the opening goal, only for it to be ruled out by referee Andrés Rojas.
The tension held until the final whistle, which sealed the draw and confirmed Ecuador’s long-awaited qualification.
Ecuador and Brazil each have 25 points in the standings, but the Ecuadorians are in second spot based on victories.
The two nations are 10 points behind Argentina but, crucially, more than six points clear of the seventh-place team with two games remaining in the qualifying campaign.
