This Thursday, at the Red Bull Arena, in New Jersey, Ecuador beat Guatemala 2-0, in an international friendly. Arboleda, São Paulo’s defender, was present throughout the match. Furthermore, the goal that opened the scoring was scored by Jhon Yeboah. The 23-year-old thus scored his first goal with the national team.
Ecuador, therefore, maintains a sequence of results, registering six unbeaten games. In the period, there are four wins and two draws. Guatemala, in turn, faces the opposite phase, as it has been six games without winning.

Now, Ecuador returns to the pitch, this Sunday, to face Italy, at the Red Bull Arena, at 5pm (Brasília time). Guatemala, on the same day, will play against Venezuela at Shell Energy Stadium, at 7pm.
Ecuador opened the scoring 8 minutes into the first half. After Guatemala’s defense barely cleared the danger, the ball fell to Jeremy Sarmiento. The player passed to Jhon Yeboah who, with his left leg, finished in the corner, with a soft touch on the post.
The second goal came in the 41st minute of the second half. In a quick counterattack, Ángel Mena found Gonzalo Plata, who invaded the area and hit a cross into the goalkeeper’s left corner.
