Key player - Colombia
Luis Fernando Díaz Marulanda, the Liverpool FC winger is the key man for Néstor Lorenzo's team. Lucho's feet are the most dangerous actions for the Colombian national team.
His unbalance, power and goal-scoring ability bring a lot to the Colombian team. Diaz has played 19 matches with Colombia in the World Cup qualifiers, scoring 3 goals in this cycle of matches.
Key Player - Ecuador
Moises Caicedo, the most valued player of Ecuador's national team, is the key man for Felix Sanchez Bas's team. The current Chelsea player is the engine of the Ecuadorian midfield, his physical display, ball handling and other attributes make Moi a truly decisive player for this national team.
Moi has 18 World Cup Qualifying games and 2 goals with his national team.
Head to Head: Ecuador vs Colombia
The national teams of Ecuador and Colombia face each other again in the World Cup qualifiers, in a new edition of one of the classics of the Andes.
The first clash between these two South American teams dates back to August 1938 at the Bolivarian Games. Since then, they have faced each other 48 times, Ecuador has won 13 times, while Colombia has 23 victories and 12 draws.
Colombia
The Colombian national team has just lost two points at home against Uruguay, now the team coached by Néstor Lorenzo must try to win in Quito, a place where they have not won in 6 years and the last time they visited, they lost 6-1 in a bad way, sentencing the Carlos Queiroz era in the Colombian national team.
The Colombians are undefeated in the current qualifiers, with one win and two draws.
Ecuador
El Tri is coming from two important victories, in the altitude of Quito and La Paz, although due to the sanction against the national team, it currently has 3 points and is in seventh place in the standings.
Ecuador, this time against a direct rival, such as Colombia, is obliged to get three points at home.
