On Thursday the Ecuador coach set his final eleven for the group‑stage game against Germany at the 2026 World Cup. He named the squad before that match. The list has experienced forwards and a sturdy defence, showing the plan he wants to play.
Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann stated his side need points and is set to try to win. Early on Luis Sané put Germany ahead with a goal that VAR checked. That early strike forced pressure on Ecuador and its coach as both teams chased three points.
