Maximum equality in this match where a priori the second place in group A to go to the round of 16 will be decided, Ecuador has some advantage since a draw will help them;

"The knee is doing well, it is improving. Let us hope that the group continues to feel strong, with a lot of confidence. We showed a lot of personality and we have to continue like that. As for the goal celebration, that is something my wife knows, you will have to ask her what that means. I look more at the things I need to improve. I always look at things I have to improve, not things that people say I have to do. That is the most important thing"

Enner Valencia is being the most outstanding of his national team since he has scored the three goals that Ecuador has scored in this World Cup, a brace against Qatar and a goal against the Netherlands to rescue a point. The Fenerbahce striker has 15 goals and four assists for the Turkish team, two of them in the UEFA Europa League;

Boulaye Día, currently a Salernitana player on loan from Villarreal is one of those who has had to take the reins in the national team after the injury of Mane. The 26-year-old striker has six goals and two assists for his club this season. Boulaye scored the first goal against Qatar to open the scoring;

Ecuador's national team has a total of nine consecutive matches without losing. The last time they were defeated was against Paraguay by 3-1 in the World Cup qualifiers. They made their debut in the first match against the hosts in the first match of the World Cup in Qatar in which they won 0-2 thanks to Valencia's brace. In the second match they drew against the Netherlands to one, in a match in which the Dutch took the lead with a goal by Gakpo, but at the start of the second half Valencia scored the definitive 1-1. Right now they are second in the group with 4 points, tied in the lead by the Netherlands and with one point ahead of Senegal, these three have options to qualify to the next round.

Senegal reached the Qatar 2022 World Cup after two friendly matches in which they won 0-2 against Bolivia and drew one against Iran. In their first match of the tournament they competed toe-to-toe with the Netherlands but were defeated by 0-2 with goals from Gakpo and Klaasen in the closing stages. In their second match, they won 1-3 against World Cup hosts Qatar thanks to goals from Dia, Diedhiou and Dieng. They are now third in Group A, just one point behind Ecuador and the Netherlands, so they will have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 on the last matchday;
