Ecuador Defeats Saudi Arabia 2‑1 Ahead of World Cup Showdown with Spain
Ecuador, under new coach Georgios Donis, secured a 2‑1 victory over Saudi Arabia in a friendly on American soil. The South American side fielded a rotated lineup without stars such as Pacho and Hincapié.
Jackson Porozo opened the scoring from a left‑side set piece, and Moisés Ramírez added the winner after a precise assist. The win boosts Ecuador’s confidence ahead of their Group H clash with Spain at the World Cup.
Saudi Arabia featured notable players like Al Dawsari but could not find the back of the net.
