The most recent match between Brazil and Ecuador ended in a 1-1 draw. It took place at the Copa América in 2021, still in the group stage. The Brazilian team reached the final of the tournament, but lost to Argentina.
The Ecuadorian team and the Brazilians have already arrived at the stadium for the match in a few minutes. The ball will roll in less than 30 minutes. Stay tuned!
The Ecuadorian team depends on itself to seal its qualification and, on this day, will have the difficult mission of defeating undefeated Brazil. At home, Ecuador will try to beat the Canarinha, who has not lost yet in these Qualifiers.
With 23 points, this match could be decisive for Ecuador. On the other hand, Brazil's goal is to stay on top.
Neymar is the footballer with the most attempts (95) and completed dribbles (55) in this edition of the South American Qualifiers. The Brazilian has performed 8 more dribbles than the second-placed player in this ranking (Messi with 47), although he has played 284 minutes less. Nevertheless, the star is missing this round of qualifying.
Brazil is undefeated in its last 30 matches in South American qualifying (23V 7E) and is one match away from tying the longest unbeaten streak by a country in the history of the tournament: 31 by Brazil's own team between 1954 and 1993 (24V 7E).

BRAZIL: Ederson (Alisson); Emerson Royal, Éder Militão, Thiago Silva and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Fred and Coutinho; Vinicius Júnior, Raphinha and Matheus Cunha. Coach: Tite
Brazil has won and conceded no goals in its last 3 matches against Ecuador in the Qualifiers. It is the longest winning streak and the longest games without conceding a goal against the Ecuadorians in the competition. Tite wants to keep the winning streak going and win without any scares.
On the other hand, Ecuador has not conceded a goal in their last 3 qualifying matches (2V 1E). It is also their longest streak of games without conceding a goal in the competition, along with the other 3-game streak between July and August 1993 (1V 2E).
The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) had requested the country's health authorities to release 60% of the stadium's capacity, which holds approximately 40,000 people in total. The entity cited in its arguments even the fact that the Brazilian team will have available 100% of the Mineirão's capacity for its next game, on the 1st. Even so, the request was denied. In other words, there will be no public for Ecuador x Brazil.
Ecuador is very well placed in the qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers and is heading well for a World Cup qualification, which would be great for the country. With 23 points, the team can secure its passport already in this date-Fifa round. This is because if they win and Colombia loses, the Ecuadorians would only need a draw to go to Qatar. On the other hand, Brazil is already qualified well in advance. However, they have fewer games to play. Tite wants to give opportunities to other players and test the team for the World Cup.
The match between Ecuador vs Brazil is valid for the 15th round of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. The Ecuadorians are in third place with 23 points, behind Argentina and Brazil. On the other hand, Brazil, already qualified, is the absolute leader of the competition. The match starts at 6 pm (Brasília), at the Casa Blanca Stadium, in Ecuador.
