A 2-1 loss to the Brazilian national team prevented Ecuador from qualifying for the final quadrangle of the U-23 pre-Olympic tournament in this Group A match.
The Tricolors lacked only a draw, but this negative result stopped their progress this Monday, January 29.
La Tri lost its unbeaten record, which it achieved with wins over Colombia (3-0) and Bolivia (2-0) and a 1-1 draw with Venezuela.
Canarinha took first place with 9 units, followed by Ecuador (7), Venezuela (2), Bolivia (1) and Colombia (0).
Now La Tri has to wait for Colombia to defeat or draw with Venezuela, in a match that will be played today at 6 p.m.
However, a win for Vinotinto would force La Tri to wait for the last home run approach.
And it will last until Thursday, February 1 (18:00) in which the Brazilians would have to win or draw with the llaneros for Ecuador to enter the last instance.
In the final quadrangle, four qualified teams will fight for one of the two places to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. (D)
