🧠 Match Summary

vs

Mexico delivered a composed and clinical performance at home in Mexico City, eliminating Ecuador from the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a 2-0 victory in the Round of 32. Julián Quiñones broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute before Raúl Jiménez extended the lead just nine minutes later, giving El Tri a commanding first-half cushion that Ecuador never recovered from.

Despite Ecuador controlling possession at 57% and winning eight corners to Mexico's three, they managed only seven shots and one on target, highlighting their failure to convert pressure into genuine chances. Ecuador's discipline also collapsed, with three yellow cards and a red card ultimately leaving them shorthanded. Mexico, steered by referee Slavko Vinčić's firm hand, held firm to advance to the next round on home soil.
